   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.
