An expansive post-frontal air mass, characterized by cool surface temperatures and weak surface winds, will encompass much of the central and eastern CONUS, limiting fire-weather concerns. Dry conditions will persist over the Southwest, though weak surface winds and marginal fuels will also limit fire-weather potential here. ..Weinman.. 04/19/2024
U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL FNUS28 KWNS 182041 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0341 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024 Valid 201200Z - 261200Z Through the middle of next week, models suggest that the upper-level flow pattern will be quasi-zonal across the CONUS. The strongest upper-level winds will remain across then northern tier states during that same period. For the middle/latter portions of next week, models have suggested that mean troughing will set up in the West. At the surface, after an surge of cooler air reaches into the northern/central Gulf this weekend, some return flow is likely to occur into the southern Plains by the middle of next week. Between cooler temperatures as well as recent/expected precipitation, fire weather concerns will generally be minimal for most locations. Dry weather is expected across parts of the Southwest where fuels continue to dry. As troughing develops in the West, an increase in surface winds would occur. Depending on fuel receptiveness by mid/late next week, some increase in fire weather concerns could occur. ..Wendt.. 04/18/2024
