Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0302 PM CST Sat Dec 04 2021
Valid 061200Z - 121200Z
A more active weather pattern is expected through the upcoming work
week as the upper-level ridge over the eastern Pacific/western CONUS
retrogrades into the northern Pacific. Long-range ensemble guidance
hints at a series of shortwave troughs propagating into the central
U.S. mid to late week that will introduce opportunities for windy
conditions across the Southwest as well as the northern and southern
High Plains. However, precipitation chances and cold air intrusions
associated with these disturbances will likely mitigate the
potential for widespread/robust fire weather concerns for the
western and northern U.S.
The southern High Plains will see the highest potential for regional
fire weather concerns in the extended period. A dry frontal passage
on D3/Monday may lead to transient elevated conditions across
western and central TX, but the temporal overlap of stronger morning
winds and lower afternoon RH is uncertain. The probability for
wetting precipitation will remain low through D7/Friday while strong
wind signals are noted from D5/Wednesday into D7/Friday, which may
support fire weather concerns. Although this general pattern change
seems likely, confidence in any details remains too low to introduce
probabilities, though trends will be monitored.
