Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0256 PM CST Wed Feb 23 2022
Valid 251200Z - 031200Z
The upper-level pattern through the remainder of the week will
feature a broad trough across the eastern third of the CONUS with a
broad ridge from West into the Plains. This will favor the
maintenance of cold air at the surface from the northern Rockies
into much of the central and eastern U.S. Beginning early next week,
flow aloft becomes quasi-zonal with the polar jet stream across the
northern tier states.
Zonal flow across the Rockies, along with potential,
low-predictability shortwave troughs, will likely promote lee
troughing late this weekend into next week. Conditions in parts of
the High Plains and adjacent areas to the east will likely be dry
under these regimes given the established dry polar airmass.
However, fuel receptiveness will be impacted by cold air through the
week as well as flow aloft being relatively weak. Confidence in
critical fire weather is low during the period.
