Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0438 PM CDT Wed Oct 27 2021
Valid 291200Z - 041200Z
Deep troughing is forecast to continue across the southern half of
the US through the end of the week and first part of the weekend,
while mid-level ridging will intensify across the West. As mid-level
heights build, winds are forecast to weaken across much of the
western and central CONUS. The flow pattern will transition to
predominately zonal by early next week with little in the way of
strong flow interacting with remaining areas of dry fuels.
At the surface, several frontal intrusions from southern Canada late
in the weekend and early next week will usher in a cooler and drier
airmass across the western and central US. Areas across the southern
Plains may see some residual strong winds and lower surface humidity
behind the departing trough and ahead of the cooler temperatures
Day3/Friday. However, recent precipitation should limit fuel
availability and subsequent fire weather potential.
Increasing chances for precipitation are also expected across the
West Coast and Intermountain West early next week ahead of a Pacific
trough. While exact details remain scant, the current forecast
trends appear unfavorable for significant fire weather potential
through much of the long-term period.
