   Valid 011200Z - 071200Z

   Strong troughing is forecast to develop across much of the central
   and western US through the next several days as a strong wave
   deepens D3/Tuesday through D6/Friday. A fast moving cold front will
   move south ahead of the trough, bringing widespread cooler
   temperatures and winter precipitation to much of the Plains and
   Midwest through the week. Cold air will remain in place for the
   remainder of the forecast period, limiting the potential for
   significant fire weather. 

   ...Southwest Texas...
   Ahead of the fast moving cold front, gusty southwesterly winds are
   forecast to develop early D3/Tuesday across portions of the southern
   High Plains. Models remain split on the arrival timing of the cold
   air, with known-biases suggesting a faster arrival than most
   guidance. However, given the dry airmass (RH <20%) and fuels, a few
   hours of gusty winds may still support brief localized fire weather
   potential across far southwest TX and eastern NM.  

   As cold and wintry conditions spread first over the Rockies and
   eventually over the central US, fire weather conditions should
   become scarce by midweek next week. Dry northerly flow may develop
   across southwest CA and the southern Great Basin D3/Wednesday as the
   western edge of the deepening mid-level trough digs farther south.
   Some offshore flow may also accompany this increase in winds as well
   as later in the week ahead of weak cut off low across the eastern
   Pacific. However, fuels across much of the region appear to be
   unfavorable for a significant fire weather threat at this time.
