Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0119 PM CDT Mon Jun 10 2024

Valid 111200Z - 121200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

Overall, the previous forecast remains valid. Please see the
discussion below for additional details. A small Elevated area was
considered for southeast and east-central OR Tuesday afternoon,
where westerly sustained surface winds around 15-25 mph are
anticipated in combination with minimum RH dropping below 25
percent. However, only localized receptive fuels currently exist
there, leading to lower confidence in both fire ignition and spread.

...Synopsis...
A large-scale ridge will build over the Southwest, favoring
increasingly warm/dry conditions across the region -- especially
over the Desert Southwest. While surface winds may be slightly more
breezy than Day 1/Monday, owing to a weak surface low over southwest
AZ, any elevated fire-weather conditions appear too localized for
highlights at this time.

Farther north, a strong westerly midlevel jet will overspread the
Pacific Northwest, while a cold front crosses the region. As a
result, breezy west-northwesterly surface winds and locally dry
conditions are possible along/east of the Cascades in WA and OR.
This combination may yield locally elevated fire-weather conditions,
though a limited overlap of the strongest surface winds and low RH
precludes highlights at this time (especially given the current
state of fuels).
