Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0158 AM CDT Fri Sep 09 2016

Valid 101200Z - 111200Z

...SYNOPSIS...
The shortwave ridge over the Rockies will shift eastward over the
Plains and upper Midwest by Sunday morning as another shortwave
trough begins to dig into the Pacific Northwest. At the surface, a
trough will develop from central MT south-southeast into central
CO as high pressure migrates east toward the Plains. This will
lead to a favorable surface pressure gradient for gusty west-
southwest winds across parts of northwest CO into southern WY.

...PORTIONS OF FAR NORTHWEST CO INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL WY...
West/southwest winds will increase by midday as boundary-layer
mixing to around 700 mb occurs. Expect speeds to around 15 mph
with occasionally higher gusts. A dry airmass will be in place
with PW values around 0.15 inches forecast. RH values are expected
to fall into the 10-15 percent range with perhaps some spotty
single-digit values.
