   Valid 061200Z - 121200Z

   A more active weather pattern is expected through the upcoming work
   week as the upper-level ridge over the eastern Pacific/western CONUS
   retrogrades into the northern Pacific. Long-range ensemble guidance
   hints at a series of shortwave troughs propagating into the central
   U.S. mid to late week that will introduce opportunities for windy
   conditions across the Southwest as well as the northern and southern
   High Plains. However, precipitation chances and cold air intrusions
   associated with these disturbances will likely mitigate the
   potential for widespread/robust fire weather concerns for the
   western and northern U.S.

   The southern High Plains will see the highest potential for regional
   fire weather concerns in the extended period. A dry frontal passage
   on D3/Monday may lead to transient elevated conditions across
   western and central TX, but the temporal overlap of stronger morning
   winds and lower afternoon RH is uncertain. The probability for
   wetting precipitation will remain low through D7/Friday while strong
   wind signals are noted from D5/Wednesday into D7/Friday, which may
   support fire weather concerns. Although this general pattern change
   seems likely, confidence in any details remains too low to introduce
   probabilities, though trends will be monitored.
