   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   A mid-level trough will rapidly eject into the Lower MS Valley from
   the southern Rockies area tomorrow (Friday), resulting in surface
   low development over the southern Plains. Dry downslope flow,
   followed by a surface cold front, will foster 20-30 mph sustained
   westerly surface winds and RH down to 20 percent across the southern
   High Plains Friday afternoon. While these conditions typically
   support at least Elevated highlights, the lack of receptive fuels
   suggests that any wildfire-spread potential should remain localized
   at best.

   Across much of the central and eastern CONUS, fire-weather
   conditions appear negligible through the extended forecast period. A
   cold front and arctic air mass will move south across the eastern
   2/3rds of the US late this weekend and into early next week. High
   pressure will settle over the Great Basin as strong northerly
   mid-level flow will develop over the West. Some model solutions
   suggest this could support a fire-weather threat, across parts of
   southern CA next week.

   ...Southern CA...
   Dry conditions and intermittent, weak offshore flow are expected
   across much of southern CA. Winds should remain light, and little
   critical fire-weather potential is expected through this weekend. 

   Starting early next week, high pressure over the Great Basin is
   forecast to strengthen as the arctic air mass invades much of the
   lower 48. Current forecast guidance remains split on the magnitude
   of an upper trough forecast to intensify over the Southwest. More
   aggressive solutions show this trough potentially forcing strong
   mid-level flow over parts of southern CA. Should this occur, strong
   offshore pressure gradients, supported by moderate flow aloft could
   allow for a period of critical fire-weather conditions, mainly
   D6/Mon through D8/Wed. However, given the significant model
   differences in placement and strength of the relevant upper-air
   features, predictability remains too low to justify probabilities at
   this time.
