   The potential for fire weather threats in the extended period is
   low. A cool air mass currently over the central CONUS will largely
   remain in place through early next week before a reinforcing cold
   front pushes southward through the Plains. While strong post-frontal
   winds are expected across the western Plains D4/Monday into
   D5/Tuesday, cold temperatures will maintain RH values above critical
   thresholds. Elevated fire weather concerns may evolve across
   southwest TX on D4/Monday as an upper-level trough, currently moving
   into southern CA, shifts east into the southern Plains. Westerly
   downslope winds may support sufficient warming/drying for RH
   reductions below 20%, but confidence in this scenario is low due to
   large spread in deterministic and ensemble solutions. Past D4/Monday
   and D5/Tuesday, long-range ensembles show high confidence in a
   persistent western ridge/eastern trough upper-air pattern that is
   typically favorable for cool weather east of the Rockies and dry
   conditions west.
