Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0326 PM CDT Thu Oct 28 2021
Valid 301200Z - 051200Z
A large upper-level trough over the eastern CONUS will continue
lifting northeast and move offshore by D5/Monday. Meanwhile, another
upper-level trough will shift south from central Canada into
portions of the northern Great Plains and become quasi-stationary
thereafter. A subtle ridge should also build into the West by the
middle of next week. Mid-level flow within these features is
forecast to gradually weaken throughout the period. Likewise,
surface winds should remain generally weak where dry fuels are
currently present, despite a few frontal passages associated with
the aforementioned trough pattern. Perhaps some localized elevated
fire-weather conditions are possible on D3/Sat across parts of West
Texas and vicinity, associated with pre-frontal southwesterly winds
and a residual dry low-level airmass. Otherwise, fire-weather
concerns are expected to remain low through the balance of the
long-tern period.
