   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   On Saturday, an upper shortwave trough is expected to amplify in the
   northern Plains/Upper Midwest. This will push colder air southward.
   Some increase in mid-level winds will occur in the central High
   Plains into parts of the northern Rockies. A modest surface low will
   develop/evolve southward within the High Plains. Dry and breezy
   conditions are probable in eastern Colorado into northeast New
   Mexico. Locally elevated meteorological conditions will be possible
   at least briefly over generally unreceptive fuels. Winds will be
   westerly/northwesterly but shift to northerly through the day as the
   surface low/cold front moves southward. Colder air will lag the
   shift to northerly winds.

   Valid 131200Z - 191200Z

   Upper-level ridging will shift eastward and amplify over the West
   this weekend, but weak upper troughing and embedded upper lows are
   likely to traverse across the Intermountain West and eventually over
   the southern/central Plains early to mid-next week. A strong jet
   along with another strong atmospheric river will likely impinge on
   the northwestern US early next week, with heights forecast to lower
   and the jet shifting farther south across the West mid to late next
   week. The southern half of the West, southern/central Plains, and
   portions of the Southeast are likely to receive little to no
   precipitation during the forecast period. 

   ...Southern/Central High Plains...
   Locally elevated conditions are likely in portions of eastern New
   Mexico into west Texas Day 3/Saturday ahead/along an approaching
   cold front. Rain chances are likely to remain confined to portions
   of south/east Texas and along portions of the Gulf Coast into
   portions of the Deep South. Most of west/north Texas and portions of
   central Texas are likely to remain rain free, further curing fuels
   in these areas. 

   As stronger flow aloft spreads across the West and into the Rockies
   Day 6/Tuesday - Day 8/Thursday, chances for critical fire weather
   conditions increase. Increased downslope flow and lee troughing will
   increase winds amid a dry airmass around mid-next week for multiple
   days. The timing/location of these conditions still remain
   uncertain, precluding introducing probabilities at this time.
   However, if forecast trends hold, probabilities for critical
   conditions will likely increase enough around mid-next week on
   portions of the southern/central High Plains, with the southern High
   Plains currently favored, to include risk areas in future outlooks.

   ...Portions of the Southeast...
   Dry/breezy conditions are likely in portions of Georgia, South
   Carolina, Alabama, and Florida Day 4/Sunday as a cold front pushes
   through the Southeast. Additionally, post-frontal dry conditions are
   likely to remain into Day 6/Tuesday across portions of the
   Southeast. However, given the recent precipitation and limited
   overlap of elevated/locally critical winds/RH, no probabilities were
   included.
