U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   FNUS21 KWNS 090539

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1239 AM CDT Thu May 09 2024

   Valid 091200Z - 101200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   The elongated upper trough will evolve into a closed low over the
   Great Basin today. Farther east, the primary upper trough will move
   into parts of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. At the surface, a cold
   front will push south into the Southern Plains and cooler air will
   push up against the southern Rockies.

   Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low for most areas.
   Some dry and breezy conditions are possible in the Southwest. Winds
   outside of terrain-favored areas will reach 15-20 mph with RH
   falling to 10-20%. Fuels in Arizona still do not support a large
   fire threat. Fuels into New Mexico are drier, but the duration of
   any elevated conditions appears too limited to support highlights.

   Friday, though upper-level winds will weaken during the day. High
   pressure and cooler air will continue to be pushed against the
   central/southern Rockies. Some dry and breezy conditions are
   possible in the Southwest. However, the spatial extent and duration
   of these conditions should be less than on Thursday. Only localized
   fire weather concerns are anticipated.

U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0444 PM CDT Wed May 08 2024

   Valid 101200Z - 161200Z

   Building surface high pressure will overspread the central/southern
   Plains through much of the extended, keeping winds light and
   limiting fire weather concerns where fuels are the driest. 

   Continued upper-level troughing over the western US and weak lee
   troughing across the High Plains and will maintain areas of
   dry/breezy conditions across eastern AZ/southwest NM. This may
   support localized areas of Elevated fire weather concerns D3/Friday
   and D4/Saturday. Rain chances are forecast to increase D3/Friday
   across the Four Corners/southern High Plains, which should aid in
   limiting fire potential in those regions.

   As the western trough ejects into the Southern Plains D4/Saturday
   into D5/Sunday, Critical conditions may return to far western
   Texas/southern New Mexico. Potential for precipitation across this
   region lowers confidence in including any areas with this outlook.
