Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0417 PM CDT Thu May 25 2023
Valid 271200Z - 021200Z
Moderate southwesterly flow is expected across portions of the
Southwest on Saturday. A deeply mixed boundary layer will support
some of this stronger flow reaching the surface across southern New
Mexico and southeast Arizona, where single-digit relative humidity
is also likely. This region currently has near 90th percentile ERCs
with very dry antecedent D1 and D2 conditions leading to additional
drying of fuels. Therefore, a 40% Critical probability is warranted.
Next week, drying conditions are expected from the
Mid-Atlantic/Northeast to the Great Lakes. Locally critically dry
fuels are possible in some locations by the middle to end of next
week, but winds should remain light through the period and alleviate
fire weather concerns. Additionally, dry weather is expected to
persist across Arizona and western New Mexico into next week.
However, winds should be mostly dry for the first portion of the
week. There may be an increased likelihood of strong winds by the
middle of next week, but there is not a strong enough signal to
support Critical probabilities.
