Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0145 PM CST Fri Nov 12 2021
Valid 141200Z - 201200Z
The longwave pattern will feature a trough in the East with a ridge
in the West late this weekend into early next week. The surface
pattern in this regime is not expected to support large-scale fire
weather concerns. By Tuesday, however, upper-level ridging will
begin to break down as a trough moves through the Northwest and into
the central Rockies. With a fairly strong surface response expected
in the High Plains region, dry and windy conditions appear probable,
with a focus on the southern High Plains. Confidence is moderate in
meteorologically critical conditions occurring; however, recent fuel
guidance does not show critically dry fuels. With some degree of
curing set to occur prior to Tuesday, highlights will be deferred
until confidence in dry fuels increases. After the passage of the
upper trough, a cold front will move through the southern Plains and
zonal flow aloft is expected to remain through the rest of the week.
Fire weather conditions are expected to improve behind the front
with perhaps some areas of dry and breezy north winds on the Plains.
