   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0408 PM CDT Wed Nov 03 2021

   Valid 051200Z - 111200Z

   A mid-level impulse embedded in broader cyclonic flow aloft will
   traverse the northern Rockies Day 3/Friday, with a stronger upper
   trough deepening across the interior West this weekend (Days 4-5).
   As the second upper trough pivots the broader mid-level cyclonic
   flow and ejects into the northern Plains, a third and more
   progressive upper trough will advance eastward across the West into
   the Plains Days 6-8/Monday-Wednesday. The result will be prolonged
   surface lee-troughing across the High Plains, where periodic dry and
   breezy conditions are likely. 

   The best chance for Elevated to locally Critical equivalent
   conditions would be on Day 3/Friday across eastern Montana, and
   nearly every day Days 4-8/Saturday-Wednesday across the southern
   High Plains as stronger mid-level flow gradually overspreads the
   south-central CONUS. However, considerable uncertainty remains this
   outlook given the overall lack of guidance consensus and mediocre
   receptiveness of fuels to fire spread, with no Critical
   Probabilities introduced.
