   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0109 AM CDT Sun Aug 25 2019/

   ...Synopsis...
   A strong mid-level jet will push into the central Rockies today, on
   the back side of a broad upper-level trough along the Canadian
   border. At the surface, a cold front will move across the
   Intermountain West. Boundary-layer mixing of stronger flow aloft
   along with a more stout surface pressure gradient than recent days
   will lead to critical fire weather conditions across portions of
   both the northern Great Basin and central Rockies. Winds of 20-25
   mph will be common across the highlighted critical area. Potential
   for 25+ mph sustained winds, and higher gusts, will be maximized
   underneath the mid-level jet core in the Snake River Valley and
   southern Wyoming. Elevated conditions will occur surrounding the
   critical area as winds in these locations will either be lighter
   (15-20 mph) and/or fuels will be slightly less receptive to fire
   spread. All areas that have been highlighted can expect 10-15% RH
   during the afternoon. Only minor changes have been made from the
   previous forecast on account of the latest guidance. The critical
   area in northeast Nevada was expanded slightly westward and the
   elevated area was expanded to include more of central Colorado.
