Upper-level ridging over the West will continue to shift eastward
and eventually lose amplitude as it moves into the Plains this
weekend. Shortwave troughs are expected to move through the
northern/central Plains late this weekend into early next week. By
the middle of next week, guidance shows agreement that a shortwave
trough will move into the Southwest and eject into the southern
Plains around Wednesday/Thursday. The overall fire weather concern
during the period is likely to be low on account of cooler
temperatures and/or light winds. Some locally elevated conditions
could occur in the central High Plains with the passage of the
shortwave troughs. The feature to watch will be the forecast trough
moving into the southern Plains. Areas of eastern New Mexico and
western Texas have received little rainfall recently. Some increase
in fire weather concern is possible those areas depending on the
timing of the trough.
