Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

0337 PM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024
Valid 181200Z - 241200Z
An upper-level trough will continue into the Great Lakes and
Northeast into the weekend. Models are suggesting that a more
amplified western ridge/eastern trough pattern will develop by early
next week. A push of cooler air will move into the southern Plains
late this week with another push expected during the weekend.
Given recent and expected precipitation, fire weather concerns
within much of CONUS should remain low. Dry and modestly breezy
conditions are expected to remain across parts of the Southwest
through part of the weekend, west of a back-door cold font. However,
fuels across the region are generally marginally receptive with
perhaps the exception of increasingly dry areas of central/western
New Mexico. Even so, potential for critical fire weather appears too
low for highlights.
