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.
