Valid 311200Z - 061200Z

Multiple mid-level troughs will traverse a broader scale 500 mb
northwesterly flow regime across the central and eastern CONUS
through the middle of next week, supporting multiple southeastward
surges of surface high pressure and an accompanying colder airmass.
Widespread, significant wildfire-spread potential should be limited
over most locales. Some locally dry and breezy conditions may
overspread the Florida Peninsula Days 4-5/Sunday-Monday with the
passage of a surface cold front. However, these conditions are
expected to primarily support localized wildfire-spread potential,
precluding the addition of Critical probabilities at this time.
