   Valid 241200Z - 301200Z

   The overall fire weather threat appears low across the CONUS for the
   extended period. Most solutions continue to show at least low-end
   fire weather potential across southwest TX and parts of the
   central/southern High Plains D3/Monday afternoon ahead of and behind
   a southward moving cold front. However, confidence in the
   timing/progression of this feature and pre and post-frontal RH
   remains low due to notable spread in deterministic solutions and low
   ensemble probabilities. Light precipitation chances early Monday
   associated with the eastward translation of the upper-level low
   currently over southern AZ also introduces uncertainty into the fire
   weather potential.

   Another cold frontal intrusion into the Plains D5/Wednesday into
   D6/Thursday will introduce windy conditions, but cool temperatures
   will likely moderate RH values. Extended ensemble guidance continues
   to show high probability for a western ridge/eastern trough
   upper-air regime that will generally help maintain cool conditions
   east/dry conditions west of the Rockies through the end of the
   upcoming work week.
