   0211 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024

   Valid 291200Z - 051200Z

   Zonal mid-level flow will become established across the CONUS, with
   multiple embedded shortwave troughs expected to traverse the
   northern half of the CONUS for the upcoming week. During the middle
   into late week period, surface lee troughing will encourage dry and
   occasionally breezy conditions across the southern High Plains as a
   surface cold front sweeps across the northern Rockies into the
   Plains.

   Guidance consensus shows potential for at least Elevated equivalent
   dry and breezy conditions along/behind the surface cold front across
   the northern High Plains for Day 4 (Tuesday). However, fuels appear
   modestly receptive to fire spread, precluding the addition of
   Critical probabilities at this time. Similarly, Elevated equivalent
   dry/windy conditions may also accompany the post-dryline environment
   over eastern New Mexico into far western Texas. However, questions
   remain this far in advance how strong the post-dryline winds will
   become, with Critical probabilities withheld for now.
