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.
