   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   Upper ridging will generally prevail over the central U.S. as the
   East Coast trough continues to progress farther east into the
   Atlantic, and a mid-level cut-off low overspreads northwestern
   Mexico tomorrow (Sunday). As a result, surface troughing will
   persist over the central U.S., with some hints of appreciable
   moisture return likely over the southern Plains. 

   A strong mid-level impulse, with a 50+ kt 500 mb jet streak will
   crest the upper ridge Sunday afternoon, supporting surface low
   development just north of the U.S./Canadian border. 20-25 mph
   sustained westerly surface winds will overspread much of central
   Montana into the northern High Plains Sunday afternoon. RH may only
   dip to around 30 percent over most locales though, which should
   limit the wildfire-spread potential to some degree (hence no
   highlights this outlook). Still, fuels are beginning to dry over
   this region given a lack of appreciable rainfall over the past few
   weeks, so localized wildfire-spread potential is plausible. Elevated
   highlights may be needed in future outlooks if lower RH becomes
   evident in later guidance.

   Otherwise, a dry surface airmass should linger over the Florida
   Peninsula, amid a weak surface wind field, to continue promoting
   localized wildfire potential through Sunday afternoon.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

   Valid 081200Z - 141200Z

   Active and progressive mid-level flow is expected across the CONUS
   through the extended forecast period. Shortwave troughing will
   progress through the Rockies and Plains this weekend with more
   troughing expected later next week. Fire weather concerns
   should generally increase for portions of the Southern Plains early
   next week as stronger southwest flow affects the region.

   ...Northern Rockies D3-D4...
   Dry and breezy downslope conditions are possible ahead of a northern
   stream shortwave trough across parts of the northern Rockies
   D3/Sunday and D4/Monday. With westerly flow expected to increase
   behind a departing lee low, downslope winds of 15-30 mph are
   possible. Uncertainty exists on how dry surface conditions will be
   given the arrival of western troughing and snow. However, some
   localized fire-weather concerns are possible given ongoing drought
   and increase in low-level winds, especially D4/Monday over parts of
   WY and CO.

   ...Southwest/Southern Plains D4-D7...
   Increasing mid-level flow over the central Rockies is expected much
   of next week as the large-scale pattern moves toward more active
   southern stream flow. A shortwave trough will move across the
   southern Rockies D4/Monday increasing winds across portions of
   eastern NM and west TX. Episodic troughing and stronger flow aloft
   will continue through much of the week and into next weekend with an
   increase in the fire-weather risk given dry fuels and warm
   temperatures.

   While some fire-weather risk appears possible, increasing ensemble
   member spread and uncertainty regarding the northern extent of
   returning Gulf moisture and precipitation into the southern Plains
   precludes the introduction of probabilities at this time.
