   A mid-level ridge and associated surface high will traverse the
   central/south-central CONUS during Day 3/Monday. By Day 4/Tuesday, a
   mid-level trough will impinge on the Four Corners region, with lee
   troughing and associated southeasterly flow contributing to
   moistening low-level conditions across the southern High Plains,
   with relatively quiescent surface winds expected.

   By Day 5/Wednesday, the aforementioned mid-level trough will
   approach the southern Plains. Stronger westerly downslope flow will
   increase across the southern High Plains, with drier air mixing
   eastward from the lee of the Southern Rockies. On Day 6/Thursday,
   the mid-level trough, with a belt of 60+ knot mid-level flow, will
   eject into the central CONUS, with a surface low intensifying in the
   central Plains. Strong westerly winds amidst critically low RH are
   expected across the central/southern High Plains, where little in
   the way of additional accumulated precipitation is expected. Model
   agreement for potentially critical wind/RH conditions appears to be
   situated in southeast Colorado, into eastern New Mexico and far-west
   Texas, where 40% probabilities for critical conditions have been
   delineated.

   For Day 7/Friday onward, model guidance sharply diverges in
   solutions, reducing confidence for the placement of critical
   probability delineations. The ECMWF depicts a trough digging farther
   south into the southern Plains, with a cold front surging south
   across the area. The GFS however, shows a less amplified trough,
   with a surface low developing across the southern High Plains.
