An upper-level ridging pattern will persist across the western half

of the CONUS through at least Day 6/Wednesday, as multiple mid-level

troughs amplify while traversing the CONUS east of the Mississippi

River. Medium-range guidance members depict an appreciable chance

for accumulating rainfall from portions of the southern Plains to

the East Coast, which in combination with moist low-level

conditions, should limit significant wildfire-spread concerns.



By Days 7-8 (next Thursday-Friday), medium-range guidance shows a

mid-level trough amplifying over the Rockies, encouraging surface

cyclone development along the High Plains. A dryline should become

established across western Kansas into western Texas each afternoon,

with Elevated to Critically dry and windy conditions likely behind

the dryline. However, appreciable rainfall accumulations may occur

within the next few days over these same areas. Since the impacts of

rainfall upon available fuels is not yet understood, higher Critical

probabilities have been withheld this outlook.
