   ...Synopsis...
   A large upper-level trough positioned over the Great Lakes region
   will shift east throughout the day, while a broad zone of enhanced
   mid-level flow overspreads much of the northern Great Plains. At the
   surface, a cold front will continue to progress southeastward,
   draped across parts of the Ohio Valley early in the day and reaching
   parts of the Mid-Atlantic by the end of the period. Consequently,
   gusty post-frontal northwesterly winds will manifest throughout the
   afternoon/evening across a broad area of the upper Midwest.
   Sustained winds of 15 mph with RH values into the 20-30 percent
   range will be common across this region amid fuels that appear at
   least marginally receptive to large-fire spread. Therefore, the area
   delineating elevated fire-weather conditions has been maintained for
   the region, with a minor expansion made into parts of northern Ohio
   and southeastern portions of the LP of Michigan.
