   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.
