   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   On Friday, a positively tilted mid-level shortwave trough will
   traverse the southeastern United States with another shortwave
   trough across the northern Rockies. Some breezy conditions will
   accompany the system moving across the Southeast, but very moist
   fuels and high relative humidity will mitigate any threat. 

   Overlap of low relative humidity and moderate/strong winds is
   expected across the northern Rockies as a mid-level trough and
   surface front move through the region. However, fuels are not dry
   enough to sustain large fires at this time. 

   Therefore, no fire weather areas are warranted for Friday.
