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.
