VALID 121200Z - 131200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
..SYNOPSIS
FIRE-WEATHER CONCERNS OVER THE US ARE NEGLIGIBLE MONDAY. BROAD
TROUGHING IS FORECAST TO PERSIST OVER THE EASTERN US WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING TO THE WEST. THIS WILL FAVOR CONTINUED
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER MUCH OF THE CONUS. COOLER SURFACE
TEMPERATURES AND RECENT RAINFALL SHOULD LARGELY PRECLUDE
FIRE-WEATHER CONCERNS.
THE ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE STRONGER DOWNSLOPE WINDS BENEATH AN
ADVANCING SHORTWAVE TROUGH EMBEDDED WITHIN THE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS D2/MONDAY. THE DRY DOWNSLOPING
WILL FAVOR WARMER AND DRIER SURFACE CONDITIONS WITH NO RECENT
PRECIPITATION IN THESE AREAS. SOME LOCALLY DRY/BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE OVER NORTHERN CO, SOUTHERN WY AND WESTERN NE ATOP VERY DRY,
ALBEIT SEASONALLY LIMITED FUELS. HOWEVER, COOLING SURFACE TEMPS AND
ONLY TRANSIENT OVERLAP OF STRONGER WINDS SHOULD PRECLUDE MORE
SUSTAINED ELEVATED FIRE-WEATHER CONCERNS.
