DAY 1 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0127 AM CDT FRI OCT 03 2008
VALID 031200Z - 041200Z
...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
...SYNOPSIS...
IN THE WEST...A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING IN FROM THE GULF
OF ALASKA WILL BRING A DRASTIC CHANGE TO THE WEATHER PATTERN.
REMNANTS FROM AN ASIAN TYPHOON THAT HAVE BEEN ABSORBED INTO THE
SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE COPIOUS MOISTURE FOR SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL AT
LOWER ELEVATIONS AND SNOWFALL MAINLY ABOVE 7000 FT FROM FRIDAY TO
SATURDAY. GUSTY SLY TO SWLY WINDS NEAR 30 MPH WITH GREATER SPEEDS AT
HIGHER ELEVATIONS WILL BE LIKELY...ESPECIALLY IN THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST TODAY. EVEN STRONGER GUSTS NEAR 50 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE
NEAR THE COAST.
MEANWHILE...WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN
STATES...WHILE MOISTURE WILL BE SOMEWHAT SLOWER TO ADVECT INTO THE
REGION. SUSTAINED SPEEDS NEAR 20 TO 30 MPH GUSTING HIGHER MAY BE
POSSIBLE OVER PORTIONS OF AZ/SRN NV/SRN CA. AT THE MOMENT...RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED TO BE MARGINAL...ALTHOUGH GIVEN GUSTY WINDS
A HEIGHTENED FIRE THREAT WILL EXIST.
IN THE SRN PLAINS...LOW PRESSURE/CONVERGENCE ALONG THE LEE OF THE
ROCKIES IN RESPONSE TO THE WESTERN LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL INDUCE
GUSTY SLY WINDS...ALIGNING WITH MARGINAL RELATIVE HUMIDITIES NEAR
THE TX/NM/OK BORDERS.
FARTHER N IN ERN MT AND WRN ND...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE
AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN ERN MT AND HIGH PRESSURE LINGERS
TO THE E. SELY WINDS NEAR 20 TO 25 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS WILL
RESULT...OVERLAPPING WITH MARGINAL RELATIVE HUMIDITIES.
IN THE SERN STATES...ANOTHER DAY OF LIGHT WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES WILL PERSIST. ALTHOUGH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED
TO BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY...PORTIONS OF NRN FL MAY
EXPERIENCE SEVERAL HOURS OF CRITICALLY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY.

DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0211 AM CDT FRI OCT 03 2008
VALID 041200Z - 051200Z
...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
...SYNOPSIS...
A SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT A LARGE PORTION OF THE
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. AMPLE MOISTURE WITH THE SYSTEM WILL BRING
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL TO LOWER ELEVATIONS...WHILE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
WILL SEE ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW. A COLD FRONT WILL QUICKLY PUSH
THROUGH THE AREA WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOLLOWING. ALTHOUGH
STRONG WINDS WITH SIGNIFICANT GUSTS WILL AFFECT A WIDESPREAD
AREA...THE MOISTURE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE SYSTEM WILL PREVENT
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES FROM REACHING CRITICAL THRESHOLDS.
FURTHERMORE...RAINFALL AND COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL MITIGATE ANY
THREAT IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE STRONG WINDS.
AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM...LOW PRESSURE/CONVERGENCE IN THE LEE OF THE
ROCKIES WILL ONCE AGAIN INDUCE GUSTY SLY WINDS IN THE CNTRL AND SRN
PLAINS...WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS EVEN HIGHER THAN D1...GENERALLY 20 TO
30 MPH. STRONG WINDS WILL ALIGN WITH MARGINAL RELATIVE HUMIDITIES
NEAR AND AROUND THE TX PANHANDLE. FARTHER N...STRONG SELY WINDS
SUSTAINED NEAR 30 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS WILL AFFECT THE NRN
PLAINS...ALTHOUGH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL BE ABOVE CRITICAL
THRESHOLDS.
