   Valid 301200Z - 051200Z

   A large upper-level trough over the eastern CONUS will continue
   lifting northeast and move offshore by D5/Monday. Meanwhile, another
   upper-level trough will shift south from central Canada into
   portions of the northern Great Plains and become quasi-stationary
   thereafter. A subtle ridge should also build into the West by the
   middle of next week. Mid-level flow within these features is
   forecast to gradually weaken throughout the period. Likewise,
   surface winds should remain generally weak where dry fuels are
   currently present, despite a few frontal passages associated with
   the aforementioned trough pattern. Perhaps some localized elevated
   fire-weather conditions are possible on D3/Sat across parts of West
   Texas and vicinity, associated with pre-frontal southwesterly winds
   and a residual dry low-level airmass. Otherwise, fire-weather
   concerns are expected to remain low through the balance of the
   long-tern period.
