Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0342 PM CST Sat Jan 22 2022
Valid 241200Z - 301200Z
The overall fire weather threat appears low across the CONUS for the
extended period. Most solutions continue to show at least low-end
fire weather potential across southwest TX and parts of the
central/southern High Plains D3/Monday afternoon ahead of and behind
a southward moving cold front. However, confidence in the
timing/progression of this feature and pre and post-frontal RH
remains low due to notable spread in deterministic solutions and low
ensemble probabilities. Light precipitation chances early Monday
associated with the eastward translation of the upper-level low
currently over southern AZ also introduces uncertainty into the fire
weather potential.
Another cold frontal intrusion into the Plains D5/Wednesday into
D6/Thursday will introduce windy conditions, but cool temperatures
will likely moderate RH values. Extended ensemble guidance continues
to show high probability for a western ridge/eastern trough
upper-air regime that will generally help maintain cool conditions
east/dry conditions west of the Rockies through the end of the
upcoming work week.
