Predictive Services Discussion:

Breezy sustained winds of 20-35 mph and gusts of 30-55 mph amid relative humidity of 7-20% will develop 

across the central and southern High Plains today and Saturday with widespread elevated to critical conditions. 

Winds will be southerly today and westerly Saturday, with the westerly winds and low relative humidity 

continuing across portions of the southern High Plains Sunday. A large upper low will move through the 

southern half of the West this weekend, with widespread showers for much of the West and snow in the 

mountains. Breezy and dry northwesterly winds are forecast for the Southeast today into Saturday, but 

concerns will be mitigated due to green-up and recent precipitation. The upper low in the West will move onto 

the southern Plains early to mid-next week, with widespread rainfall from the southern Plains into the 

Southeast, including wetting rain for much of the southern High Plains bringing some relief. Periods of light 

precipitation are forecast next week from the northern Plains to the Northeast as well, but northern Minnesota 

and North Dakota are likely to remain dry.
