FWD
No Critical Areas
Synopsis
An upper ridge will build over the Northwest in the wake of a departing midlevel trough. While a continuation of warm and dry conditions are expected, weaker surface winds will limit fire-weather concerns regionally compared to previous days. However, locally elevated conditions are still possible in wind-prone areas, given the continuation of warm/dry conditions and receptive fuels.
