   ...Synopsis...
   The overall synoptic pattern will be characterized by a persistent
   longwave trough over the East and mid/upper ridging over the
   Intermountain West.  A mid-level disturbance initially just west of
   the central California coast will migrate inland and weaken
   throughout the forecast period as well.

   At the surface, cold temperatures will continue across much of the
   central and eastern CONUS in response to an expansive area of high
   pressure along the Mississippi River Valley and a strengthening low
   just off the East Coast.  Meanwhile, weak onshore flow will persist
   in California.  

   The overall pattern suggests that large-scale fire weather
   conditions will be minimal throughout the forecast period.  No areas
   are highlighted in the outlook for this reason.
