   Valid 031200Z - 091200Z

   Enhanced zonal midlevel flow will initially be confined to the
   northern and eastern CONUS through the first half of this weekend,
   with strong flow overspreading the Mid-Atlantic states. By late this
   weekend, a midlevel speed maximum will advance southeastward across
   the northern Rockies, resulting in large-scale trough amplification
   and the development of a lee surface low over the northern High
   Plains. Strong flow aloft will gradually encompass much of the Great
   Plains as the large-scale pattern becomes increasingly amplified
   into next week. At the same time, an upper-level low will meander
   over the Baja Peninsula, with deep northeasterly flow briefly
   developing over southern California. 

   ...Day 3/Friday - Mid-Atlantic...
   By Friday, the pressure gradient peripheral to a surface low over
   eastern Canada will be weakening, though a dry post-frontal air mass
   (RH of 25 to 35 percent) will remain in place. A brief overlap of
   the dry boundary-layer conditions and modest surface winds (aided by
   downslope flow) will support locally Elevated fire-weather concerns.
   At this time, the fire-weather threat appears too spatially limited
   to warrant any highlights, though trends will be monitored.

   ...Days 3-8/Friday-Wednesday - Central and Southern High Plains...
   A persistent downslope flow regime and enhanced surface pressure
   gradient in the lee of the Rockies will result in periods of dry and
   breezy conditions each afternoon. While fire-weather delineations
   will likely be needed in future updates, large differences among the
   medium-range model guidance casts uncertainty on where and when the
   best overlap of strong winds and low RH will develop. 

   ...Days 5-6/Sunday-Monday - Southern California...
   Deep northeasterly flow will briefly develop north of the
   upper-level low, supporting downslope warming/drying across
   terrain-favored areas of southern California. It is currently
   unclear where the strongest winds and low RH will exist, precluding
   fire-weather highlights at this time.
