   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0222 PM CST Sun Feb 27 2022

   Valid 011200Z - 071200Z

   Upper ridging and weak surface winds are expected across the central
   CONUS Days 3-4/Tuesday-Wednesday, with warm and dry conditions
   likely across the Plains states. However, a series of mid-level
   troughs will eject into the central U.S. in the Days
   5-8/Thursday-Sunday time frame, supporting surface lee-troughing and
   potential cyclone development by the weekend, with dry and windy
   conditions likely across the central and southern High Plains.
   Through the week, appreciable precipitation accumulations are
   expected to be negligible across the High Plains, where fuels remain
   very dry and highly receptive to fire spread. At the moment,
   confidence in Critically dry and windy conditions is relatively
   highest on Days 5-6 across the southern High Plains, with guidance
   agreement strongest in the placement and timing of the initial upper
   troughs traversing the Plains. Thereafter, consistency and consensus
   diminishes in terms of upper trough placement/timing, with Critical
   probabilities for Days 7-8 withheld for now. If guidance agreement
   increases and persists in the currently depicted dry/windy
   conditions across the southern High Plains Days 7-8, then Critical
   probabilities may be added for next weekend.
