Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

Valid 161200Z - 221200Z
General agreement exists among short/medium-range guidance members
in depicting a longwave upper trough (with multiple embedded
impulses) slowly progressing eastward across the MS Valley toward
the Atlantic Coast over the course of the upcoming week. For Days
3-7/Sunday-Thursday, the embedded mid-level impulses and
accompanying surface lee troughs/cold fronts will support multiple
days of northwesterly surface winds (occasionally strong)
transporting dry air across the central/northern Plains into the OH
Valley. At the moment though, guidance agreement is not strong in
terms of where the driest air should be on any particular day, and
with fuel receptiveness diminishing with northeast extent (from the
southern Plains toward the Great Lakes), confidence is too low for
delineating Critical probabilities at this time.
