   ...Synopsis...
   Reduced fire weather concerns are expected across the CONUS on Day
   2/Wednesday. Low-amplitude upper troughing will continue across the
   northern CONUS while upper ridging begins to weaken over the
   Southeast. High temperatures in the 80s and minimum RH values of
   25-30% will overlap drought-stressed fuels in the lower MS River
   Valley. However, lighter prevailing winds should limit a fire
   weather threat over this region.

   Valid 281200Z - 031200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   An active weather pattern will persist across the Northwest, Plains
   and the Upper Midwest as a troughing regime contributes to cloud
   cover, precipitation and cooler temperatures reducing overall fire
   weather concerns through late this week. More amplified troughing
   emerges across the western U.S. over the weekend promoting
   increasing southwest flow aloft over the region. This could invite a
   plume of deeper subtropical moisture into the West, bringing
   additional precipitation across much of Intermountain West this
   weekend and early next week.

   A broad ridging pattern over the eastern U.S. should be maintained
   through Day 5/Friday supporting above normal temperatures and mainly
   dry conditions for much of the region. Fuels across the lower MS
   River Basin into the Deep South remain quite receptive. Ridging
   aloft and surface high pressure across the Appalachians will allow
   areas of critically low RH to emerge each afternoon through Day
   5/Friday amid the dry fuelscape. However, light surface winds will
   attenuate the fire weather threat over this region. Precipitation
   chances increase for the lower MS River Valley and Southeast over
   the weekend as the surface high over the Appalachians repositions
   over the Northeastern U.S. This will aid in northward moisture
   transport from the Gulf as a series of short wave troughs within a
   more pronounced subtropical jet impacts the region.
