Valid 071200Z - 131200Z

The sub-tropical ridge across the Gulf early in the period will
retrograde toward the western US and then briefly amplify as a
shortwave trough digs southeast across the East. This amplification
will bring a period of warming/drying across the West but the
duration should be brief as the pattern quickly flattens in response
to the approach of a couple of low-amplitude troughs.

This overall pattern will yield cooler and wetter conditions across
much of the eastern US, with at least a short period of warmer,
drier conditions across the West as the ridge amplifies. However,
fuel moisture across the West should be high enough to preclude
widespread critical fire weather conditions.

Late in the period as low-amplitude troughs impinge upon the
sub-tropical ridge, an increase in thunderstorm potential may occur.
Dry thunderstorms will be possible, especially with the first
trough, but the details (timing and location) are too uncertain to
introduce probabilities.
