   Valid 121200Z - 181200Z

   Amplified flow in the mid levels is expected to remain in place
   across the CONUS through the length of the extended forecast period.
   Within this regime, preferential troughing across the east and
   ridging in Gulf of Alaska/eastern Pacific should result in
   northwesterly flow aloft dominating much of the western and central
   US. As a result, periods of dry and cold air are forecast as several
   cold fronts migrate south through much of the CONUS. The northwest
   flow aloft will also support high pressure across much of the
   country keeping surface winds relatively light. High confidence from
   deterministic and ensemble guidance points to a low risk for
   widespread and sustained fire weather conditions over the next
   several days.

   ...Southern Plains...
   Despite the overall unfavorable environment for widespread fire
   weather conditions, a low chance for localized elevated fire weather
   may be possible across portions of the southern Plains through the
   week, as lee troughing and dry conditions remain in place. Somewhat
   better chances may develop ahead of a stronger cold front
   Day5/Friday supporting a few hours of concern, though the lack of
   stronger surface winds and cooler temperatures will likely temper
   the threat.
