   0241 PM CDT Fri Oct 14 2022

   Valid 161200Z - 221200Z

   General agreement exists among short/medium-range guidance members
   in depicting a longwave upper trough (with multiple embedded
   impulses) slowly progressing eastward across the MS Valley toward
   the Atlantic Coast over the course of the upcoming week. For Days
   3-7/Sunday-Thursday, the embedded mid-level impulses and
   accompanying surface lee troughs/cold fronts will support multiple
   days of northwesterly surface winds (occasionally strong)
   transporting dry air across the central/northern Plains into the OH
   Valley. At the moment though, guidance agreement is not strong in
   terms of where the driest air should be on any particular day, and
   with fuel receptiveness diminishing with northeast extent (from the
   southern Plains toward the Great Lakes), confidence is too low for
   delineating Critical probabilities at this time.
