   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   Reduced fire weather concerns will linger into D2/Wednesday. Surface
   lee troughing is expected to evolve across the Northern High Plains
   as an upper-level trough translates northeastward into ND and high
   pressure settles into Ontario/Quebec. A resultant corridor of south
   winds of 10-15 mph (locally 20 mph) are expected over much of the
   Great Plains by Wednesday afternoon. Marginal fuels coupled with
   limited RH reductions should inhibit broader fire weather concerns
   across the region. Dry conditions including RH nearing 15% during
   peak afternoon heating will persist across CA and the Great Basin in
   the wake of a departing upper-level trough. However, marginal fuels
   and light surface winds precludes fire weather highlights.

   ...Discussion...
   An upper low will transition into the Great Lakes region and Ohio
   Valley on Day 3/Thursday, supporting precipitation chances and much
   cooler temperatures along/east of the Appalachians. Meanwhile, a
   shallow cold front will slowly progress southward through southern
   Texas and the Deep South. Hot and mostly dry conditions will
   continue across the lower Mississippi Valley through the forecast
   period as upper ridging rebuilds over the ArkLaTex, contributing to
   forecast ERCs approaching the 90-95th percentile; but, prevailing
   light winds should suppress overall fire weather concerns.

   Guidance is in general agreement for ridging to build over the
   central CONUS late in the workweek as an upper trough evolves across
   the Eastern Pacific and impinges upon the Northwest. The overall
   pattern indicates stronger southwest winds may return to the
   portions of the northern Great Basin, Pacific Northwest, and
   Northern Rockies on Days 4-5/Thursday-Friday; however, an expected
   marginal fuelscape should limit a broader fire weather threat. If
   fuels guidance trends drier, critical probabilities may be needed in
   future outlook cycles.
