   Valid 291200Z - 051200Z

   ...Days 3-5/Tuesday-Thursday...
   A short-wave trough over the Southwest U.S. will continue to bring
   lingering fire weather concerns to southern New Mexico and far west
   Texas Days 3-4/Tuesday-Wednesday. 40 percent Critical probabilities
   remain for Day 3/Tuesday across southern New Mexico and far Western
   Texas, with fire weather threat shifting and shrinking to primarily
   far western Texas by Day 4/Wednesday where available fuels remain
   receptive to wildfire spread. Another upper-level wave and cold
   front shift eastward across the northern Rockies for Days
   3-4/Tuesday-Wednesday presenting a potential post-frontal/downslope
   wind fire weather threat across eastern Montana. Spatial
   distribution of frontal precipitation is a bit uncertain and
   precludes introduction of Critical probabilities at this time for
   Days 4-5/Wednesday-Thursday.

   ...Day 6-8/Friday-Sunday...
   Ridge amplification over the western U.S. will support a lighter
   wind regime but above normal temperatures for much of the
   Intermountain West and Northwestern Tier states. Long term model and
   ensemble guidance suggests another potentially strong, negatively
   tilted upper-trough into the western U.S. through the weekend (Days
   7-8). Attendant strong winds aloft over a well-mixed boundary layer
   could present another broad fire weather concern over much of the
   Southwest for the weekend time frame. 40 percent Critical
   probabilities were added for eastern Arizona into western New Mexico
   where drought stressed fuels remain and minimal to no precipitation
   leading up to the weekend across this region is expected.
