   ...Synopsis...
   Broad/strong west-northwesterly midlevel flow across the
   central/southern Rockies will maintain lee troughing along the
   adjacent High Plains. As a result, breezy downslope flow with modest
   RH reductions will develop across the southern High Plains during
   the afternoon. However, marginal RH and fuels should limit
   fire-weather concerns.

   Valid 271200Z - 021200Z

   A series of mid-level troughs will progress across the CONUS into
   the middle of next week, encouraging multiple rounds of surface
   cyclone development across the central U.S. while surface high
   pressure remains in place across much of the Interior West. Cool
   surface conditions will prevail across the northern CONUS, while
   areas along and east of the Mississippi River, as well as many
   locales west of the Rockies, are likely to experience appreciable
   precipitation accumulations. Conditions favorable for
   wildfire-spread should be absent in most locations, except the
   southern and central High Plains. Multiple days of dry and/or breezy
   conditions are possible due to downslope flow from the Rockies,
   which will be augmented by isallobaric flow from surface cyclones to
   the east.

   At the moment, there is consensus among medium-range guidance
   members in potentially critically dry/windy conditions over portions
   of the southern High Plains early next week, which will be preceded
   by dry/breezy afternoons and no forecast precipitation
   accumulations. As such, there is some potential for modest curing of
   fine fuels before some of the driest/windiest conditions arrive.
   Should guidance consensus continue to show critically dry/windy
   conditions early next week, Critical probabilities may be needed in
   future outlooks.
