   Valid 271200Z - 021200Z

   Moderate southwesterly flow is expected across portions of the
   Southwest on Saturday. A deeply mixed boundary layer will support
   some of this stronger flow reaching the surface across southern New
   Mexico and southeast Arizona, where single-digit relative humidity
   is also likely. This region currently has near 90th percentile ERCs
   with very dry antecedent D1 and D2 conditions leading to additional
   drying of fuels. Therefore, a 40% Critical probability is warranted.

   Next week, drying conditions are expected from the
   Mid-Atlantic/Northeast to the Great Lakes. Locally critically dry
   fuels are possible in some locations by the middle to end of next
   week, but winds should remain light through the period and alleviate
   fire weather concerns. Additionally, dry weather is expected to
   persist across Arizona and western New Mexico into next week.
   However, winds should be mostly dry for the first portion of the
   week. There may be an increased likelihood of strong winds by the
   middle of next week, but there is not a strong enough signal to
   support Critical probabilities.
