   ATLINE.7
     
   ...NO LARGE-SCALE SIGNIFICANT FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED...
     
   ...SYNOPSIS... 
   TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO WARM OVER THE DESERT SW WITHIN
   THERMAL LOW EXTENDING FROM SRN CA INTO SRN AZ WHERE WINDS WILL BE
   LIGHT.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN AS RAPID WARMING OCCURS OVER THE
   PLAINS AND ROCKIES.  WINDS WILL BE LIGHT THROUGHOUT THE AREA. 
   FURTHER EAST...A CUT OFF LOW WILL FORM OVER THE SERN U.S...MAKING
   FOR COOL CONDITIONS ON NWLY WINDS.  RH VALUES OVER THE SRN PLAINS
   AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY COULD APPROACH CRITICALLY LOW VALUES
   AS DRY AIR MOVES IN FROM THE NW...BUT RECENT HEAVY PRECIPITATION
   WILL MITIGATE THE THREAT.
