   Valid 061200Z - 121200Z

   A strong shortwave trough will move through the central and southern
   Plains on Thursday. In its wake, an arctic airmass will continue to
   move southward into the Plains. These features will shift into
   eastern portions of the U.S. by Friday and Saturday. Portions of the
   Southwest and southern Plains into the weekend with an upper ridge
   amplifying and moving east. The next shortwave trough to impact the
   southern Plains is forecast to reach the region on Saturday. This
   trough will also be accompanied by an cold airmass that will move
   into the middle portions of the country by early next week. Models
   remain in good agreement into Tuesday where a trough amplifies
   across the upper Midwest and Northeast and another reinforcing
   arctic airmass moves south and east out of Canada.

   ...Southern High Plains...
   Fire weather concerns continue to be focused in this region where
   models show little potential for precipitation through the period.
   With the approach of the next trough from the west, both Friday and
   Saturday should see some increase in dry and windy conditions across
   the region with above average temperatures. For Friday, there is
   uncertainty with regard to the duration of critically low RH. The
   position of the surface low on Saturday should promote more
   favorable downslope winds which gives greater confidence in RH
   reductions to near 15%. As such, there is a 40% probability for
   critical fire weather on Saturday.
