   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SRN CA...
   
   ...SYNOPSIS...
   AN UPPER RIDGE WILL REMAIN ALONG THE WEST COAST...WITH STRONG
   SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE STAYING CENTERED ROUGHLY OVER THE GREAT BASIN.
    THIS WILL ALLOW OFFSHORE FLOW TO CONTINUE ACROSS SRN CA...WITH
   STRONG AND GUSTY/SANTA ANA WINDS AND LOW RH PERSISTING.
   
   FARTHER E...STRONG ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD SSEWD
   INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY...WITH DRY WEATHER AND BREEZY NWLY WINDS
   ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF THE PLAINS.  
   
   MEANWHILE...DRY CONDITIONS WILL SETTLE ACROSS MUCH OF THE SERN
   STATES FOLLOWING A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE...WITH CRITICAL RHS LIKELY
   ACROSS SRN MS/AL/GA AND NRN/CNTRL FL.
   
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA - PORTIONS OF SRN CA...
   
   PRIMARY CONDITIONS: STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW AND LOW RH
   
   A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT AND OFFSHORE WINDS WILL LINGER ACROSS SRN
   CA. MESOWEST OBSERVATIONS SHOW LITTLE RH RECOVERY HAS OCCURRED SO
   FAR TONIGHT...WITH VALUES MAINLY IN THE 20S AND LOWER 30S ACROSS
   FAVORED COASTAL VALLEYS. RHS WILL DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS AGAIN
   BY AFTERNOON AS STRONG/GUSTY DOWNSLOPE WINDS WARM TEMPERATURES 10 TO
   20 DEGREES ABOVE CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
   INCREASE OVERNIGHT...AND GUSTY NELY WINDS WILL CONTINUE WHILE LITTLE
   RH RECOVERY CAN BE EXPECTED.
   
   ...FL...
   COOL AND DRY NWLY FLOW HAS ALREADY DEVELOPED FOLLOWING A COLD
   FRONTAL PASSAGE. A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS HAS MOVED INTO THE SERN
   STATES...REFLECTED IN SATELLITE PWAT TRENDS AND WV IMAGERY. ALTHOUGH
   WINDS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW CRITICAL THRESHOLDS...RHS WILL
   DROP INTO THE 20S ACROSS MUCH OF SRN MS/AL/GA AND NRN/CNTRL FL.
   PREEXISTING DROUGHT CONDITIONS/HIGH KDBI VALUES WILL ENHANCE THE
   FIRE THREAT. 
   
   ...CNTRL/SRN TX...
   TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE UPPER 50S AND 60S...WITH RHS IN THE
   UPPER TEENS AND LOWER 20S. MARGINAL SLY/SWLY WINDS WILL OVERLAP WITH
   THESE RHS AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF HIGH PRESSURE TO THE E. DROUGHT
   CONDITIONS WILL ENHANCE THE THREAT...ALTHOUGH GIVEN MARGINAL WINDS
   AN AREA WILL NOT BE OUTLINED.

   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR FLORIDA...
   
   ...SYNOPSIS...
   AN UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE WESTERN STATES. SURFACE
   HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST...WITH
   OFFSHORE FLOW ACROSS SRN CA. STRONG/GUSTY WINDS...LOW RH...AND ABOVE
   NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST IN THIS REGIME.
   
   MEANWHILE FARTHER E...AN AMPLIFIED LONG WAVE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
   ALOFT WILL PERSIST OVER THE ERN STATES. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH
   PRESSURE WILL BUILD SEWD...AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL AFFECT A
   WIDESPREAD AREA IN THE SERN STATES. NWLY WINDS NEAR 10 TO 15 MPH
   WILL ENHANCE THE FIRE THREAT...ESPECIALLY IN DROUGHT STRICKEN AREAS
   OF FLORIDA.
   
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA - PORTIONS OF SRN CA...
   
   PRIMARY CONDITIONS: STRONG/GUSTY WINDS...LOW RH
   
   LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED ACROSS SRN CA AS OFFSHORE FLOW CONTINUES.
   TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN 10 TO 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL IN
   DOWNSLOPING FLOW...WHILE RHS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP INTO THE SINGLE
   DIGITS ONCE AGAIN. SEVERAL MODELS SHOW THAT THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
   WILL EITHER BE COMPARABLE TO D1 OVERNIGHT OR SLIGHTLY STRONGER.
   STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE. LITTLE RH RECOVERY WILL OCCUR
   OVERNIGHT.
   
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA - FLORIDA...
   
   PRIMARY CONDITIONS: LOW RH...WINDS
   
   A SECOND DRIER COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY
   MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD SEWD INTO THE SERN STATES...AND
   NWLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 10 TO 15 MPH BY AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH
   TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY WARM INTO THE UPPER 50S AND 60S...DRIER
   CONDITIONS THAN D1 CAN BE EXPECTED. RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL DROP
   INTO THE 20S AS FAR S AS A TBW TO MLB LINE...WITH NEAR 35 PERCENT
   VALUES ACROSS S FL. THESE LOW VALUES OF RH WILL BE JUXTAPOSED WITH
   STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS. GIVEN HIGH KBDI VALUES/DROUGHT...A
   HEIGHTENED FIRE THREAT WILL EXIST.
