Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0325 PM CST Mon Jan 24 2022
Valid 261200Z - 011200Z
Fire weather potential may increase later this week and into the
weekend. Long-range ensembles continue to show a rather stagnant
upper-air regime with broad troughing across the eastern CONUS and
ridging across the West. This will maintain dry conditions across
the southwestern U.S. with scattered precipitation chances along and
east of the Rockies. While precipitation and cooler temperatures
will moderate fire weather concerns for most locations, a
downslope-flow regime in the wake of a lee trough may support at
least low-end fire weather concerns for parts of the southern High
Plains on D6/Saturday. This scenario has been depicted over the past
24-48 hours in a few ensemble members, and probabilities for
elevated to critical wind/RH combinations continue to increase in
recent runs. Although guidance has trended towards increasing fire
weather potential, rain/snow chances through D3/Wednesday across the
region may moisten currently dry fuels.
