Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0317 PM CDT Tue Jun 04 2024

Valid 061200Z - 121200Z

An upper-level ridge will settle over the western CONUS as
northwesterly flow aloft becomes established across the eastern
CONUS through the remainder of the week into this weekend.
Thereafter, medium range guidance depicts a gradual breakdown of the
upper-level ridge into early next week, with perhaps a mid-level
trough developing over the southern Plains at the end of the period
(Day 8/Tuesday). The evolution of the aforementioned upper-air
pattern will support multiple rounds of potential meaningful
rainfall at several locales east of the Rockies, dampening fuel
receptiveness to wildfire spread in the process. However, prolonged
warm and dry conditions are expected from portions of the Lower
Colorado River Basin into the Great Basin. Medium range guidance
agreement on stronger surface winds overlapping the expected lower
RH is not overly strong, so no Critical probabilities have been
delineated this outlook. However, the prolonged dry conditions,
along with the lack of appreciable rainfall accumulations, should
support the continued curing of fuels over portions of the Interior
West.
