   ...Synopsis...
   An expansive post-frontal air mass, characterized by cool surface
   temperatures and weak surface winds, will encompass much of the
   central and eastern CONUS, limiting fire-weather concerns. Dry
   conditions will persist over the Southwest, though weak surface
   winds and marginal fuels will also limit fire-weather potential
   here.

   Valid 211200Z - 271200Z

   An upper-level ridging pattern will persist across the western half
   of the CONUS through at least Day 6/Wednesday, as multiple mid-level
   troughs amplify while traversing the CONUS east of the Mississippi
   River. Medium-range guidance members depict an appreciable chance
   for accumulating rainfall from portions of the southern Plains to
   the East Coast, which in combination with moist low-level
   conditions, should limit significant wildfire-spread concerns.

   By Days 7-8 (next Thursday-Friday), medium-range guidance shows a
   mid-level trough amplifying over the Rockies, encouraging surface
   cyclone development along the High Plains. A dryline should become
   established across western Kansas into western Texas each afternoon,
   with Elevated to Critically dry and windy conditions likely behind
   the dryline. However, appreciable rainfall accumulations may occur
   within the next few days over these same areas. Since the impacts of
   rainfall upon available fuels is not yet understood, higher Critical
   probabilities have been withheld this outlook.
