U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   ZCZC SPCFWDDY1 ALL
   FNUS21 KWNS 230628

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0128 AM CDT Tue Apr 23 2024

   Valid 231200Z - 241200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   A midlevel trough will advance east-southeastward from the Midwest
   toward the Northeast through the period, while an upper ridge
   encompasses much of the West. On the backside of the midlevel
   trough, a post-frontal air mass will infiltrate the northern and
   central Plains, where breezy/gusty northerly surface winds are
   expected. Over portions of southern NE and KS, these winds could
   briefly overlap 20-30 percent afternoon RH, favoring locally
   elevated fire-weather conditions -- given receptive fuels across the
   area. However, these conditions appear too brief and marginal for
   Elevated highlights at this time.

   Farther west, dry/breezy conditions are expected across the
   Southwest during the afternoon. However, fuels are generally not
   supportive of large fires at this time.

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

   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.

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.
