U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
ZCZC SPCFWDDY2 ALL FNUS22 KWNS 230629 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0129 AM CDT Tue Apr 23 2024 Valid 241200Z - 251200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... A low-latitude midlevel trough accompanied by strong southwesterly flow aloft will impinge on the Southwest, where dry antecedent conditions will be in place. This will promote a fairly expansive area of dry/breezy conditions across the region; however, fuels are generally not supportive of large-fire spread at this time. Elsewhere, a limited overlap of warm/dry/breezy conditions will temper fire-weather concerns. ..Weinman.. 04/23/2024
U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL FNUS28 KWNS 222044 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0344 PM CDT Mon Apr 22 2024 Valid 241200Z - 301200Z A relatively active fire weather pattern is poised to set up across the southern High Plains late this week through this weekend. By Thursday, the first in a series of mid-level troughs will approach the southern Rockies, with surface low development likely across the central High Plains. By Thursday afternoon, a dryline will surge eastward across the southern High Plains, with Critically dry and windy conditions occurring behind the dryline. For Friday through the weekend, the approach/passage of another mid-level trough and associated surface cyclone will support continued eastward dryline surges over the southern High Plains, accompanied by Critically dry and windy conditions each afternoon. 70 percent Critical probabilities have been issued Days 4-6 (Thursday-Saturday) where Critical conditions should be most prolonged, and where fuels are most receptive to wildfire spread. Dry conditions should persist across the southern High Plains into early next week, though it is currently unclear if the surface winds will approach Critical thresholds. ..Squitieri.. 04/22/2024
