   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0229 PM CDT Sat Nov 06 2021

   Valid 081200Z - 141200Z

   A relatively broad area of enhanced mid-level southwesterly/westerly
   flow is forecast across much of the western CONUS Day 3/Monday into
   Day 5/Wednesday while several mid-level shortwave troughs move
   through the larger-scale flow. The most significant of these troughs
   is expected to move from the Rockies and into the Plains Day
   5/Wednesday and then gradually shift toward the Great Lakes region
   through Day 8/Saturday. As this occurs, an upstream mid/upper-level
   ridge is forecast to build across the western CONUS.  

   ...Southern Plains: Day 3/Monday and Day 5/Wednesday...
   While elevated meteorological fire weather conditions are probable
   Day 3/Monday across portions of south-central Colorado and eastern
   New Mexico, fuel receptiveness across parts of this area remain
   sub-optimal to large-scale fire spread. One exception may be over
   the San Luis Valley of Colorado, where a more favorable overlap of
   wind/rh and fuel receptiveness may foster at least locally elevated
   fire weather conditions. 

   While some fire weather concerns could return Day 5/Wednesday across
   southern portions of the southern Plains, as the aforementioned
   mid-level trough impinges on the area, uncertainty regarding wind/rh
   and fuel receptiveness is too large to introduce 40% probabilities
   for critical fire weather conditions.
