   Valid 301200Z - 061200Z

   An upper-level trough positioned over the central/eastern CONUS will
   shift eastward on D3/Tues through D4/Wed. A rather potent mid-level
   short-wave trough will quickly develop in its wake across portions
   of the Great Lakes region into the Northeast by D5/Thurs.
   Thereafter, enhanced northwesterly mid-level flow will overspread
   much of the northern half of the CONUS. At the surface, a series of
   cold fronts should sweep through the central/eastern CONUS, while
   high pressure remains in place over the Great Basin region.

   ...Portions of Southern California...
   The aforementioned high pressure in the Great Basin region is
   forecast to strengthen a bit, starting on D3/Tues morning and
   lasting through D4/Wed afternoon. The resulting regional pressure
   gradient should support sustained offshore winds near 20 mph, with
   gusts of 30-40 mph in terrain-favored locations. With persistent dry
   conditions favoring low RH values and receptive fuels, 40%
   probabilities for critical fire-weather conditions have been
   introduced for both days and the region will be monitored for
   potential upgrade(s) in future outlooks.

   ...Portions of the Central/Southern High Plains...
   With the aforementioned periodic frontal passages, dry/breezy
   post-frontal and return flow conditions are likely to develop across
   the region, particularly on D3/Tues and D6/Fri. At this time, the
   spatial extent of such conditions appears too localized/uncertain to
   warrant any probabilities, but this region will continue to be
   monitored in forthcoming outlooks.

   ...Portions of the Northern High Plains...
   Strong westerly surface winds are forecast to develop on D4/Wed and
   D5/Thurs, and may yield some fire-weather concerns. At this time,
   conditions appear cool enough to keep RH values too high to support
   any large-scale fire-weather concerns.
