Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0310 PM CST Fri Feb 25 2022
Valid 271200Z - 051200Z
Multiple mid-level shortwave troughs are poised to traverse the
central Plains Days 3-4/Sunday-Monday before large-scale upper
ridging and surface high pressure dominates the western and central
U.S into Days 5-6/Tuesday-Wednesday. A relatively warm, dry surface
airmass will overspread the Plains states through Day 6/Wednesday,
though the large-scale surface wind field is expected to be too weak
to support a significant wildfire-spread threat. Nonetheless, the
combination of warm and dry conditions, lack of forecast
precipitation, and ongoing severe to extreme drought will continue
to gradually prime fuels across the Plains. In the Days
7-8/Thursday-Friday period, upper troughing will return to the
central CONUS with dry and breezy conditions possible across the
Plains states. However, consistency in the placement and timing of
the dry/windy conditions is currently too poor among guidance
members, with predictability too low to delineate Critical
probabilities this outlook.
