   ...Synopsis...
   On Wednesday, an upper-level trough will deepen over the eastern
   CONUS with strong northwesterly flow upstream.  At the surface, high
   pressure will build in over the central CONUS in the wake of a
   cold-frontal passage.  Despite a shift to northerly surface winds
   over southern Plains, temperatures are still expected to warm into
   the upper 50s F.  Given the strong northerly to northeasterly winds
   just above the surface, vertical mixing could lead to gusty winds
   around midday as RH values fall below 25% across portions of
   Oklahoma and northern Texas.  Even with dry and breezy conditions,
   fuels across the region are generally not receptive for large
   wildfires, limiting fire-weather concerns.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

   Valid 111200Z - 171200Z

   Upper-level ridging is likely to continue over the West with mostly
   upper-level troughing over the Great Lakes, Northeast, and into the
   Southeast through the weekend. Weak upper lows may traverse through
   the ridge across the southern half of the West late this weekend
   into early next week. Much of the Southwest, southern/central
   Plains, and west/north Texas are likely to receive little to no
   precipitation during the forecast period. 

   While downslope flow with lee troughing will enhance at times during
   the forecast period, including on Day 3/Thursday and over the
   weekend, on portions of the southern/central High Plains. However,
   probabilities of elevated/critical winds/RH overlapping areas with
   receptive fuels remain too low to include probabilities.

   Portions of the Southeast will receive little to no rainfall during
   the forecast period. Additionally, multiple dry cold frontal
   passages with dry airmasses filtering in behind are expected for the
   Southeast over the next week. However, recent rainfall and weak
   winds will mitigate fire weather concerns.
