   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   A split flow regime will develop over the U.S. throughout the day
   with a belt of northwesterly flow in the Midwest and subtropical
   westerlies at lower latitudes. No widespread areas of Elevated
   fire-weather conditions are expected, although some localized gusty
   and dry conditions may develop in portions of the Appalachians and
   High Plains.

   ...Ohio River Valley southward through western NC and SC...
   As a cold front continues to push southeastward through the East
   Coast and FL Peninsula, locally stronger post-frontal surface winds
   could yield Elevated fire-weather conditions in regions of locally
   drier fuels. The lowest relative humidities are expected from the
   Ohio River Valley southward through western NC and SC along the
   eastern slopes of the Appalachians. Low confidence exists regarding
   the overlap of strongest surface winds, drier conditions, and
   receptive fuels, precluding any Elevated areas at this time.

   ...Southern High Plains...
   The surface pattern across the Southern High Plains will be
   influenced by steady, post-frontal high pressure along the Gulf
   Coast and a developing, mid-level cutoff low over the Four Corners
   region. This will yield gradual moisture return across the Southern
   Plains, bounded to the west by drier southwesterly flow. Locally
   windy (around 15+ mph) and dry (relative humidities around 20-25
   percent) conditions may develop across portions of the TX/OK
   Panhandles. Some precipitation has occurred across the region in the
   last few days, but locally drier fuels may support pockets of
   heightened fire-weather conditions on Tuesday afternoon.
