   ...Synopsis...
   Minimal fire weather concerns are expected across the CONUS for
   D2/Wednesday. An upper trough complemented by a surface cold front
   and associated precipitation will push into the Upper Midwest, Great
   Lakes and Appalachians. Despite lingering dry conditions ahead of
   the upper trough amid pockets of receptive fuels across the
   northeastern U.S., surface winds will remain light, precluding
   introduction of fire weather highlights.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

   Valid 051200Z - 111200Z

   Upper-level troughing will move over the eastern third of the CONUS
   with another (smaller) trough on the eastern edge of the
   Intermountain West on Day 3/Thursday. By Day 4/Friday, upper-level
   ridging will build in over much of the western US, transitioning
   temperatures from below or near-normal to above normal starting this
   weekend. Consensus of the latest forecast guidance is that this
   ridge, while not particularly strong, will persist through
   mid-next-week. A cold front progressing across the eastern states
   will bring beneficial rainfall to much of the Appalachian Mountains.
   A shortwave trough behind the first trough will bring additional
   opportunity for precipitation to the southern Plains and Gulf Coast.
   Meanwhile, an upper-level low over Baja CA on Day 4/Friday through
   Day 6/Sunday will support easterly flow and result in moderately
   strong Santa Ana surface winds. Even with drying conditions present
   as this system transits the region, recent rainfall accumulation and
   increased live fuel moisture are expected to limit the fire threat
   there. Nevertheless, fire weather concerns will be reduced across
   almost all CONUS locations through the forecast period given recent
   rainfall and subdued fuels.
