   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   The previous forecast remains generally on track. A few hours of dry
   and occasionally breezy conditions may precede isolated thunderstorm
   development across northern portions of the Texas Panhandle into
   northwestern Oklahoma. However, the marginal nature of these
   conditions suggest that wildfire-spread concerns should remain
   localized, so no fire weather highlights have been introduced this
   outlook.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0121 AM CDT Thu Sep 19 2024/

   ...Synopsis...
   A low-latitude midlevel low will advance eastward across the Lower
   CO River Valley, while a related belt of strong deep-layer
   southwesterly flow overspreads the Southwest. Boundary-layer mixing
   into this strong deep-layer flow will favor dry/breezy conditions
   across portions of western NM and eastern AZ during the afternoon.
   While this could lead to locally elevated fire-weather conditions,
   fuels are generally unsupportive of large-fire spread at this time.
   Elsewhere, a minimal overlap of breezy surface winds and low RH
   should limit fire-weather concerns.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

   Valid 211200Z - 271200Z

   Multiple mid-level troughs will traverse the Intermountain West and
   eject into the central and northern Mississippi Valley through the
   middle of next week, encouraging surface high pressure and cooler
   air to gradually overspread much of the CONUS. Appreciable rainfall
   accumulations are likely across the southern Plains into the Ohio
   Valley through next week, which should help dampen very dry fuels
   across these regions. Approaching cooler temperatures or meaningful
   rainfall accumulations over much of the CONUS suggests that
   quiescent fire weather conditions should prevail for this upcoming
   week. Locally dry and breezy conditions may occur over portions of
   the Interior West or High Plains, but such conditions appear too
   localized to warrant critical probabilities this outlook.
