...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
The upper level pattern today will feature a trough in the East and
a ridge in the West. At the surface, high pressure will be
reinforced within the West and the Plains/Upper Midwest.

...Central High Plains...
With a secondary cold front moving through the region, temperatures
should be slightly cooler than on Monday. Dry and breezy northerly
are again expected into late afternoon. The strongest winds (15-20
mph) will occur within the cooler air in northeast Colorado. Farther
south, 10-15 mph winds will occur within drier air (15-20% RH).
Given limited fuel receptiveness and marginally elevated conditions,
fire weather risk will likely be localized.

...Southern California...
With high pressure building into the Great Basin, offshore winds
will increase into Wednesday morning. Gusty, dry winds will occur
within the wind prone terrain areas. Current fuel information
suggests fire weather concerns will be limited.
