   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1254 AM CDT Wed May 06 2026/

   ...Synopsis...
   An upper-level trough and associated mid-level speed max will shift
   into eastern CONUS Thursday. A cold front and attendant band of
   showers and thunderstorms will overspread much of the Southeast and
   Piedmont regions. Increasing westerly low-level flow south of the
   frontal boundary will bring fire weather concerns to portions of
   eastern FL Thursday. A building upper ridge across the western U.S.
   will promote warming temperatures and dry conditions for the region.


   ...Florida Peninsula...
   Enhanced westerly surface winds of 10-15 mph are expected across the
   FL Peninsula as a cold front approaches the FL/GA border Thursday.
   Inland temperatures in the low to mid 90s F will evolve within a
   dry, well mixed boundary layer by early Thursday afternoon. The warm
   temperatures, increasing westerly flow amid relative humidity in the
   25-35% range and drying fuels, will support an elevated fire weather
   concern for portions of the eastern FL Peninsula where Elevated
   Highlights have been introduced.

   Valid 081200Z - 141200Z

   Upper troughing will extend along the eastern U.S. and persist
   through early next week as an upper-level low over eastern Canada
   remains anchored. This pattern will encourage unsettled weather and
   repeated chances for precipitation across portions of the Southeast
   to the Mid-Atlantic. Therefore, broader fire weather concerns may
   temporarily be dampened for much of the eastern U.S. through the
   duration of the forecast period, given a widespread transition to
   green-up and expected appreciable precipitation. 

   An upper ridge will prevail across the western U.S. through the
   forecast period. This pattern may result in a curing event, given
   above normal temperatures and dry conditions to persist for much of
   the Intermountain West. However, timely green-up phase of fuels and
   lighter winds should keep concerns low through early next week.
   Localized fire weather concerns may emerge in terrain-favored areas
   where stronger winds overlap dry fuels.

   Between western U.S. ridging and troughing to the east, broad
   northwesterly flow over the High Plains and Upper Midwest is
   expected to promote sporadic dry and windy conditions atop drying
   fuels. Uncertainty in medium-range guidance precludes critical
   probabilities at this time, however, fire weather potential should
   become more evident in future outlooks.
