   Valid 251200Z - 031200Z

   The upper-level pattern through the remainder of the week will
   feature a broad trough across the eastern third of the CONUS with a
   broad ridge from West into the Plains. This will favor the
   maintenance of cold air at the surface from the northern Rockies
   into much of the central and eastern U.S. Beginning early next week,
   flow aloft becomes quasi-zonal with the polar jet stream across the
   northern tier states.

   Zonal flow across the Rockies, along with potential,
   low-predictability shortwave troughs, will likely promote lee
   troughing late this weekend into next week. Conditions in parts of
   the High Plains and adjacent areas to the east will likely be dry
   under these regimes given the established dry polar airmass.
   However, fuel receptiveness will be impacted by cold air through the
   week as well as flow aloft being relatively weak. Confidence in
   critical fire weather is low during the period.
