Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0348 PM CST Mon Jan 10 2022
Valid 121200Z - 181200Z
Amplified flow in the mid levels is expected to remain in place
across the CONUS through the length of the extended forecast period.
Within this regime, preferential troughing across the east and
ridging in Gulf of Alaska/eastern Pacific should result in
northwesterly flow aloft dominating much of the western and central
US. As a result, periods of dry and cold air are forecast as several
cold fronts migrate south through much of the CONUS. The northwest
flow aloft will also support high pressure across much of the
country keeping surface winds relatively light. High confidence from
deterministic and ensemble guidance points to a low risk for
widespread and sustained fire weather conditions over the next
several days.
...Southern Plains...
Despite the overall unfavorable environment for widespread fire
weather conditions, a low chance for localized elevated fire weather
may be possible across portions of the southern Plains through the
week, as lee troughing and dry conditions remain in place. Somewhat
better chances may develop ahead of a stronger cold front
Day5/Friday supporting a few hours of concern, though the lack of
stronger surface winds and cooler temperatures will likely temper
the threat.
