   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   Generally zonal flow will continue over the US ahead of a subtle
   southern stream trough over northern Mexico. At the surface, a
   back-door cold front will move into the southern high Plains and
   Rockies as high pressure intensifies over the central CONUS. With
   upslope trajectories, cooler temperatures, and weak winds, little
   overlap of dry and breezy conditions is expected over the southern
   High Plains. Fire-weather concerns should remain low for most areas.
   Portions of the Southwest and southern Great Basin are expected to
   generally remain dry. But, at present, fuels are not receptive and
   winds are forecast to remain modest limiting the potential for
   fire-weather concerns.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

   Valid 191200Z - 251200Z

   Given recent and expected precipitation across much of the CONUS
   through the extended forecast period, fire weather concerns should
   remain low for most areas. Portions of the Southwest and southern
   Great Basin are expected to generally remain dry. At present, fuels
   are not receptive and winds are forecast to remain rather light.
   Toward mid to late next week, models are in reasonable agreement
   that a broad trough will be in the West. Some potential for an
   increase in fire weather concerns will exist in parts of
   central/western New Mexico where fuels may become dry enough to
   support fire spread. This increase will coincide with increasing
   winds as the trough moves eastward. Confidence in critical fire
   weather occurring is too low for highlights.
