   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0351 PM CDT Mon Nov 01 2021

   Valid 031200Z - 091200Z

   Mid-level ridging will dominate the western CONUS Days
   3-4/Wednesday-Thursday, before the first in a series of mid-level
   troughs traverses the northern Rockies Day 5/Friday. From Friday
   through Day 8/Monday, embedded mid-level impulses tracking across
   the northwest/north-central CONUS will reinforce surface
   lee-troughing across the High Plains, promoting brief instances of
   localized Elevated-equivalent surface conditions atop fuels that are
   modestly receptive (at best) to wildfire spread. 

   Dry and breezy westerly surface flow is expected across portions of
   central into eastern Montana Day 5/Friday, followed by dry/breezy
   surface conditions across the central/southern High Plains Days
   6-8/Saturday-Monday. Each day, some guidance consensus exists
   regarding the presence of near-critical to critical RH across the
   High Plains by peak afternoon heating. However, the stronger surface
   winds appear too localized for the inclusion of Critical
   probabilities, especially when considering the overall poor
   receptiveness of fuels to fire spread.
