   Valid 061200Z - 121200Z

   A mid-level trough will enter portions of the Pacific Northwest on
   D3/Saturday, and remain quasi-stationary through D6/Tuesday. Some
   amplification of the trough will occur during this period, with a
   series of downstream short-wave troughs progressing through the
   central/northern Rockies. Thereafter, the mid-level trough should
   shift eastward into the central/northern Plains by D7/Wednesday,
   with strong zonal/northwesterly mid-level flow entering the West in
   its wake.

   At the surface, southerly return flow should develop along the
   southern High Plains, while a cold front enters the region by
   D5/Monday. This front is forecast to stall as return flow redevelops
   by D7/Wednesday. Somewhat marginally enhanced surface winds and
   lowered RH may accompany these features, particularly on D4/Sunday
   across portions of northeast New Mexico, that may eventually warrant
   highlights for parts of the region. However, considerable
   uncertainty still exists the aforementioned synoptic features, as
   well as the receptiveness of fuels across the region, to introduce
   any probabilities at this time.
