The probability for robust and/or widespread fire weather concerns
appears low for much of the extended period. Upper-level ridging is
expected to build over the western CONUS for the later half of the
work week and into the weekend. Long-range ensemble guidance shows
some uncertainty regarding the amplitude of this feature, which will
influence the fire weather threat for the weekend and into early
next week. More progressive solutions hint at the potential for
upper-level troughing over the Four Corners with associated strong
winds and reduced RH across the southern High Plains during the
D6/Sat to D8/Mon time frame. However, this seems to be an outlier
solution compared to ensemble means, which portray more persistent
ridging aloft and weaker flow at the surface. Nonetheless, there is
good model consensus in persistent dry conditions for the Southwest
and southern High Plains through early next week, which may result
in curing fuels and an increased susceptibility to dry/windy
conditions.
