Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

Valid 231200Z - 291200Z
The potential for fire weather threats in the extended period is
low. A cool air mass currently over the central CONUS will largely
remain in place through early next week before a reinforcing cold
front pushes southward through the Plains. While strong post-frontal
winds are expected across the western Plains D4/Monday into
D5/Tuesday, cold temperatures will maintain RH values above critical
thresholds. Elevated fire weather concerns may evolve across
southwest TX on D4/Monday as an upper-level trough, currently moving
into southern CA, shifts east into the southern Plains. Westerly
downslope winds may support sufficient warming/drying for RH
reductions below 20%, but confidence in this scenario is low due to
large spread in deterministic and ensemble solutions. Past D4/Monday
and D5/Tuesday, long-range ensembles show high confidence in a
persistent western ridge/eastern trough upper-air pattern that is
typically favorable for cool weather east of the Rockies and dry
conditions west.
