Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0143 AM CDT Sun Mar 24 2024

Valid 251200Z - 261200Z

...Synopsis...
The mid-level trough and associated surface cyclone that will
promote the dangerous wildfire conditions across parts of the High
Plains today will continue to drift eastward tomorrow/Monday,
promoting deep-layer westerly flow in its wake. Across much of
southwestern Texas, downslope flow will promote 15-25 mph sustained
westerly surface winds amid 15-25 percent RH Monday afternoon. Given
modestly dry fuels, some threat exists for wildfire spread. However,
potential also exists for periodic cloud cover and perhaps a few
showers, possibly limiting wildfire-spread conditions to a degree.
Either way, ambient surface winds and RH should be favorable enough
to warrant the introduction of Elevated highlights across portions
of the southern High Plains.
