   VALID 101200Z - 111200Z
   
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR SRN CA COASTAL RANGE...
   
   ...SYNOPSIS...
   A LARGE UPPER TROUGH WILL BUILD SOUTH ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
   VALLEY IN COMBINATION WITH AN UPPER LOW LIFTING EAST OUT OF NRN
   MEXICO. AN UPPER RIDGE AXIS WILL DRIFT SLOWLY EASTWARD ALONG THE
   PACIFIC COAST. AT THE SURFACE...A DEVELOPING LOW OVER THE LOWER
   MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL SPREAD PRECIPITATION NORTHEAST FROM EAST TX
   INTO THE SRN APPALACHIANS. RESIDUAL DRY AIR WILL REMAIN OVER THE
   INTERIOR OF FL BUT WITH LIGHTER WINDS. IN THE WEST...HIGH PRESSURE
   WILL STRENGTHEN OVER THE NRN ROCKIES.
   
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA 1 - SRN CA COASTAL RANGE...
   
   PRIMARY CONDITIONS: VERY LOW RH / OFFSHORE FLOW / WARM TEMPERATURES
   
   AFTER RECORD WARMTH OVER MUCH OF WRN CA ON THURSDAY...SLIGHTLY
   COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TODAY WITH WEAKER OFFSHORE FLOW.
   HOWEVER...VERY LOW RH IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUED WITH MIN VALUES
   RANGING FROM 10 TO 15 PERCENT. EVEN THOUGH OFFSHORE FLOW SHOULD
   DIMINISH AS THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS DRIFTS TOWARDS THE AREA
   DURING THE DAY...WINDS SHOULD STILL BE MODERATE THROUGH PASSES AND
   CANYONS ALONG THE COASTAL RANGE WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS FROM 15 TO 25
   MPH. EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...AN UPPER TROUGH DIGGING SOUTH OVER THE
   ROCKIES WILL HELP TO STRENGTHEN THE OFFSHORE FLOW ONCE AGAIN.
   LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS TO AROUND 40 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED WITH POOR RH
   RECOVERY DURING THE NIGHT.
   
   ...CNTRL/SRN FL...
   TEMPERATURES WILL WARM SLIGHTLY TODAY AS THE AIR MASS
   MODIFIES...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 60S TO MID 70S. WINDS WILL BE
   LIGHTER AS A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST OVER THE
   ATLANTIC. WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHERLY AHEAD OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
   VALLEY STORM SYSTEM. THIS WILL LEAD TO A GRADUAL MOISTENING OF THE
   AIR MASS. HOWEVER...AREAS OF LOW RH WILL REMAIN ESPECIALLY INLAND
   DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH MIN VALUES NEAR 30 PERCENT.
   
   ...NRN TX...
   A PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT WILL BRING BLUSTERY NORTH WINDS OF 20 TO
   30 MPH. DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH MIN RH VALUES AROUND 25
   PERCENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...RATHER COOL TEMPERATURES ARE
   FORECAST WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 40S TO AROUND 50.

   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR CNTRL AZ...
   
   ...SYNOPSIS...
   AN AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH ACROSS THE CNTRL AND ERN U.S. WILL HELP
   STRENGTHEN A SURFACE LOW ALONG THE E COAST. PRECIPITATION SHOULD
   OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE EAST. IN THE WEST...A SURFACE HIGH WILL
   REMAIN ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE ROCKIES...BUILDING SOUTH TOWARDS THE

   TEMPERATURES
   
   CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING MOST OF THE

    IN THE MOUNTAINS AND PASSES OF THE COASTAL RANGE. DURING THE
   DAY...NEAR-RECORD WARM TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S TO LOWER 80S ALONG
   WITH A DRY AIR MASS WILL PRODUCE VERY LOW RH VALUES. MIN RH READINGS
   BY LATE AFTERNOON SHOULD BOTTOM OUT IN THE 5 TO 15 PERCENT RANGE.
   DURING SATURDAY EVENING INTO SUNDAY MORNING...WINDS WILL REMAIN
   STRONG OUT OF THE NORTHEAST. SUSTAINED SPEEDS SHOULD RANGE FROM 20
   TO 30 MPH WITH LOCAL GUSTS AROUND 50 MPH. EVEN THOUGH TEMPERATURES
   WILL COOL INTO THE 40S AND 50S...THE STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO

   BLUSTERY NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED
   ACROSS MUCH OF TX ON SATURDAY. THIS COMBINED WITH A DRY AIR MASS MAY
   SUPPORT CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS WITH MIN RH VALUES IN THE TEENS AND
   LOWER 20S. HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO BE COOL MAINLY IN
   THE 50S AND LOWER 60S. MID AND UPPER-LEVEL CLOUDINESS IS ALSO
   EXPECTED MOST OF THE DAY LIMITING SUNSHINE.

   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR N CNTRL/CNTRL  TX...
   
   ...SYNOPSIS...
   AN AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH ACROSS THE CNTRL AND ERN U.S. WILL HELP
   STRENGTHEN A SURFACE LOW ALONG THE E COAST. PRECIPITATION SHOULD
   OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE MID-ATLANTIC AND SOUTHEAST. IN THE WEST...A
   SURFACE HIGH WILL REMAIN ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE ROCKIES...BUILDING
   SOUTH TOWARDS THE BIG BEND OF TEXAS. IN BETWEEN THE SYSTEMS...COOL
   AND DRY CONDITIONS WITH BLUSTERY NORTHWEST WINDS OVER MUCH OF THE
   SOUTHERN PLAINS. AN INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT IN THE SW WILL LEAD
   TO STRENGTHING NORTHEASTERLY WINDS WITH WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS
   CONTINUING.
   
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA 1 - SRN CA COASTAL RANGE...
   
   PRIMARY CONDITIONS: SANTA ANA WINDS / VERY LOW RH / WARM
   TEMPERATURES
   
   AS HIGH PRESSURE EXPANDS OVER THE ROCKIES INTO THE EASTERN GREAT
   BASIN...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE PERIOD.
   SANTA ANA WINDS WILL INCREASE OVER THE PASSES AND FOOTHILLS OF THE
   COASTAL RANGE. WIND SPEEDS SHOULD INCREASE INTO THE 15 TO 25 MPH
   RANGE WITH LOCALLY HIGHER GUSTS. DURING THE DAY...ABOVE-NORMAL
   TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S TO LOWER 80S ALONG WITH A DRY AIR MASS WILL
   PRODUCE VERY LOW RH VALUES. MIN RH READINGS BY LATE AFTERNOON SHOULD
   BOTTOM OUT IN THE 5 TO 10 PERCENT RANGE. DURING SATURDAY EVENING

   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA 2 - CNTRL AZ...
   
   PRIMARY CONDITIONS: VERY LOW RH / STRONG WINDS / HIGH HAINES INDEX
   
   DRY NORTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE TODAY...AS

   SHOULD WARM INTO THE 60S AND 70S SOUTH OF THE MOGOLLON RIM WESTWARD
   TOWARDS THE CO RIVER VALLEY. NORTHEAST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH
   LOCALLY HIGHER GUSTS CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE THESE AREAS.  THE
   EFFECTS OF THE DRY AIR MASS AND DOWNSLOPING WINDS WILL CAUSE MIN RH
   VALUES TO BOTTOM OUT FROM 5 TO 10 PERCENT. THE CRITICAL FIRE THREAT
   WILL BE REDUCED OVERNIGHT AS TEMPERATURES COOL INTO MAINLY THE 40S
   AND WIND SPEEDS DIMINISH.
   
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA 3 - N CNTRL/CNTRL  TX...
   
   PRIMARY CONDITIONS: STRONG WINDS / VERY LOW RH
   
   THE PASSAGE OF AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AXIS AND A MODERATE SURFACE
   PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE SRN PLAINS WILL HELP SUSTAIN BLUSTERY
   NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH OVER MUCH OF N CNTRL TX ON
   SATURDAY. THIS COMBINED WITH A COOL...BUT DRY AIR MASS WILL SUPPORT
   A BRIEF PERIOD OF CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS WITH MIN RH VALUES IN THE
   TEENS AND LOWER 20S AROUND PEAK HEATING. DURING THE MORNING
   HOURS...MID AND UPPER-LEVEL CLOUDINESS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE
   TROUGH SHOULD HINDER SUNSHINE AND SURFACE HEATING. BUT BY
   MID-AFTERNOON...PREVALENT SUNSHINE SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO
   REACH THE MID 40S TO MID 50S ACROSS THE AREA. ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE
   COOL...THE COMBINATION OF STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...STRONG WINDS
   AND VERY LOW RH WILL PRODUCE A CRITICAL FIRE THREAT.

   ...SYNOPSIS...
   LARGE-SCALE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH WILL DOMINATE THE CNTRL AND ERN U.S.
   ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL AID IN THE STRENGTHENING OF AN INTENSE SURFACE
   LOW OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. A SECONDARY WAVE DIVING SOUTH ON THE

   RECOVERY IS ANTICIPATED SUNDAY MORNING. VERY LOW RH IS EXPECTED ONCE
   AGAIN IN THE AFTERNOON WITH MIN VALUES RANGING FROM 5 TO 10
   PERCENT...AS TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE MID 70S TO MID 80S. WIND

   AFTER SUNSET CURTAILING THE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER THREAT.
   
   ...CNTRL AZ...
   DRY NE WINDS WILL CONTINUE ALONG AND S OF THE MOGOLLON RIM WESTWARD
   THROUGH THE CO RIVER VALLEY. VERY DRY CONDITIONS WILL EXIST SUNDAY

   MID 60S. AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE...SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS WILL INCREASE
   FROM 20 TO 30 MPH. THIS COMBINED WITH MIN RH VALUES RANGING FROM 10

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS NORTHERN AND WESTERN

FROM WESTERN NORTH TEXAS NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND
EASTERN OKLAHOMA. COOLER AIR AND HIGHER RELATIVE HUMIDITY BEHIND THE
FRONT WILL REDUCE THE FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON TO MODERATE TO HIGH

FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST... RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL FALL TO A MINIMUM
RANGE OF 8 TO 20 PERCENT BY MID AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN NORTH TEXAS
AND MOST OF SOUTHWESTERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
MOVING NORTH INTO SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA WILL RESULT IN HUMIDITY
FALLING ONLY INTO THE 30 TO 45 PERCENT RANGE FROM ARDMORE TO ADA AND

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S TO UPPER 70S TODAY
ACROSS WESTERN NORTH TEXAS AND MOST OF THE SOUTHEASTERN TWO THIRDS
