A progressive upper-air pattern will result in several mid-level
troughs traversing the CONUS this week into early next week. Several
instances of surface lee troughing/cyclone development are likely
across the central CONUS as surface high pressure dominates the East
Coast and much of the U.S. west of the Rockies. Cool conditions in
the northern CONUS, as well as appreciable precipitation
accumulations west of the Rockies and east of the central Plains (to
the East Coast) should limit significant wildfire spread concerns
over most locales. Occasionally dry and/or breezy conditions may
occur over the High Plains by afternoon peak heating on several days
given the anticipated frequency of surface lee trough/cyclone
development over the central U.S. However, overlapping dry low-level
air, stronger surface winds, and receptive fuels, should be too
localized or brief to support significant wildfire-spread potential.
