   Valid 201200Z - 211200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   A low-amplitude shortwave trough and accompanying speed maximum will
   cross the central Rockies during the afternoon, while an attendant
   surface low tracks south-southeastward along the northern/central
   High Plains. Related downslope flow will yield 10-15 percent RH
   across much of the central High Plains, where around 20 mph
   sustained northwesterly surface winds (with higher gusts) are
   expected. These dry/windy conditions will favor elevated to locally
   critical fire-weather conditions over northeastern CO, southwestern
   NE, and northwest KS. A separate corridor of elevated fire-weather
   conditions is expected in the lee of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains
   in southern CO, with locally critical conditions possible within the
   gap flow areas. Between these two corridors, recent snowfall should
   limit fire-weather concerns. 

   Elsewhere, modestly breezy northeasterly surface winds are expected
   amid a dry antecedent air mass across parts of the western and
   central FL Peninsula, where locally elevated fire-weather conditions
   are possible.
