   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0330 PM CDT Sun Oct 31 2021

   Valid 021200Z - 081200Z

   The synoptic pattern from Day 3 (Tuesday) through Day 5 (Thursday)
   is forecast to remain generally unfavorable for fire weather
   concerns across the CONUS.  The pattern is characterized by a
   relatively stationary upper-level trough over the eastern CONUS with
   surface high pressure dominating much of the central and eastern
   CONUS.  As a result, conditions will be relatively cool and moist
   across much of the CONUS, except for portions of the Southwest,
   where winds are forecast to remain light.

   Short-wave ridging is forecast to develop over the West by Day 4
   (Wednesday) ahead of a potent shortwave trough that is forecast to
   move onto the West Coast on Day 5 (Thursday).  After this forecast
   lead time, model and ensemble solutions diverge, indicating low
   predictability of this shortwave trough.  Regardless of the exact
   evolution of this shortwave trough as it moves eastward across the
   CONUS beyond Day 5 (Thursday), fire weather concerns will likely
   increase on Day 6 (Friday), especially across the southern/central
   High Plains, but there is too much uncertainty in the pattern
   evolution to introduce probabilities at this time.
