   An upper-level trough within the Great Basin will shift into the
   Plains this weekend before intensifying across eastern portions of
   the U.S. early next week. A surface high pressure system will also
   continue to push eastward ahead the upper trough. Southerly winds
   will return to parts of the southern Plains as a lee trough develops
   this Friday and Saturday. As the trough passes to the east, another
   cold front and surface high pressure system will move southward
   through the Plains, reaching the Gulf coast late Sunday into Monday.
   Upper ridging will develop in the West this weekend. Models continue
   to forecast an upper low developing off the California coast and
   moving into the Southwest and southern Plains around the middle of
   next week. However, this pattern is inherently less predictable.
   Cool/cold temperatures as well as precipitation will limit fire
   weather concerns for most areas.

   ...Southern High Plains...
   Another day of dry and windy downslope winds are expected on
   Saturday ahead of the approaching cold front from the north. Above
   normal temperatures should support RH of 15-20% with perhaps some
   locally drier areas. Winds of 15-20 mph are generally expected with
   some areas of terrain enhancement possible. Mid/upper clouds may
   limit boundary-layer mixing and gust potential. Confidence in
   critical fire weather remains at 40% as such conditions may only
   occur locally.

   Gusty winds with perhaps marginally reduced RH values are possible
   across the region again on Tuesday. Given the recent cold air that
   will have arrived, confidence in RH being critically low is not
   sufficient for highlights.
