Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0355 PM CDT Fri Nov 03 2017
Valid 051200Z - 111200Z
A quasi-zonal split-flow pattern will exist across the CONUS through
at least D6/Wed - with the southern branch of flow overspreading
areas of the southern Rockies and adjacent Great Plains during that
period. Meanwhile at the surface, areas of lee troughing and
transient areas of weak low pressure across portions of Oklahoma and
Texas will favor areas of downslope flow in portions of eastern New
Mexico and vicinity particularly on D3/Sun and D4/Mon afternoons.
As a result, elevated fire weather conditions will exist on those
afternoons as surface winds approach 20 mph and RH values fall to
near-critical thresholds during peak heating.
Beyond this period, a cooler and drier airmass will overspread
portions of the southern Plains and diminish fire weather concerns.
Any risk should remain low across the CONUS from D5/Tue onward.
