   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   An upper ridge will amplify over the Rockies as a mid-level trough
   progresses over the Great Lakes toward the Northeast tomorrow
   (Tuesday). This upper-air pattern will aid in driving a surface cold
   front southward across the central into the southern CONUS through
   the period, reinforced by surface high pressure. As a result, a
   relatively cooler and moist low-level airmass will overspread the
   Plains, limiting significant wildfire-spread potential.

   Valid 101200Z - 161200Z

   Active mid-level flow will continue to intensify this week as
   troughing gradually deepens over the West. Episodic troughing will
   overspread the Southwest and Plains through midweek. Gusty downslope
   winds are possible in the lee of the Rockies and southern Plains.
   This will continue into next weekend when more substantial troughing
   appears likely to emerge over the central US. While fire-weather
   conditions will remaining localize initially, the increase in
   westerly flow overlapped with unusually warm/dry conditions should
   increase fire-weather concerns later in the forecast cycle.

   ...Southwest and Plains...
   A southern stream shortwave trough will move from the southern
   Rockies and over the Southwest and far southern Plains D3/Tuesday
   and D4/Wednesday. This trough will support a weak lee low bolstering
   some gusty westerly winds over parts of eastern NM and west TX ahead
   of a weak cold front. Some localized fire-weather concerns are
   possible given dry fuels and above normal temperature, though the
   area extent is uncertain.

   More substantial troughing is expected to develop later into the
   week and into next weekend as strong flow aloft continues to move
   southward. Lee troughing will increase westerly surface winds across
   parts of the High Plains D5/Thursday potentially supporting some
   potential for more active fire-weather conditions. However, ensemble
   spread increases substantially. Additionally, the increase in
   troughing will coincide with the potential for precipitation. Given
   this uncertainty, no probabilities will be drawn for now despite the
   expectation of a general increase in fire-weather potential next
   week.
