...Synopsis...

Predominately zonal mid-level flow is expected over the CONUS by

D2/Thursday. Stronger westerly flow is expected to gradually shift

east as weak high pressure builds over the West. At the surface, a

cold front is forecast to move across much of the plains ushering in

a cooler air mass. Surface high pressure behind the front should

keep winds modest over much of the central US. The only exception to

this may be across parts of far northeast NM and southern CO. Here,

the dry air mass may remain sheltered from the cold front supporting

at least brief localized fire-weather conditions D2/Thursday

afternoon. Otherwise, fire-weather potential appears limited across

the CONUS.
