The previous forecast remains on track. No changes have been made. ..Marsh.. 01/04/2018 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1254 AM CST Thu Jan 04 2018/ ...Synopsis... The overall synoptic pattern will be characterized by a persistent longwave trough over the East and mid/upper ridging over the Intermountain West. A mid-level disturbance initially just west of the central California coast will migrate inland and weaken throughout the forecast period as well. At the surface, cold temperatures will continue across much of the central and eastern CONUS in response to an expansive area of high pressure along the Mississippi River Valley and a strengthening low just off the East Coast. Meanwhile, weak onshore flow will persist in California. The overall pattern suggests that large-scale fire weather conditions will be minimal throughout the forecast period. No areas are highlighted in the outlook for this reason. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
