   Valid 141200Z - 201200Z

   The longwave pattern will feature a trough in the East with a ridge
   in the West late this weekend into early next week. The surface
   pattern in this regime is not expected to support large-scale fire
   weather concerns. By Tuesday, however, upper-level ridging will
   begin to break down as a trough moves through the Northwest and into
   the central Rockies. With a fairly strong surface response expected
   in the High Plains region, dry and windy conditions appear probable,
   with a focus on the southern High Plains. Confidence is moderate in
   meteorologically critical conditions occurring; however, recent fuel
   guidance does not show critically dry fuels. With some degree of
   curing set to occur prior to Tuesday, highlights will be deferred
   until confidence in dry fuels increases. After the passage of the
   upper trough, a cold front will move through the southern Plains and
   zonal flow aloft is expected to remain through the rest of the week.
   Fire weather conditions are expected to improve behind the front
   with perhaps some areas of dry and breezy north winds on the Plains.
