   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.
