Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0448 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2024

Valid 181200Z - 241200Z

A broad longwave trough will be present through the first part of
the extended period over the western CONUS. Residual stronger flow
from a departing shortwave trough may result in some dry, breezy
conditions with receptive fuels across parts of New Mexico and far
southeast Colorado on Day 3 (Tuesday), and 40% Critical highlights
have been maintained in this area.

By Day 4 (Wednesday), a plume of tropical moisture is expected to
begin advecting northwestward into the southern Rockies, which may
provide a reprieve from fire weather concerns in this area due to
precipitation and high RH. Farther west across portions of Arizona,
Utah, and Nevada, some stronger flow aloft may result in some dry,
breezy conditions on Days 4 and 5 (Wednesday and Thursday), though
confidence is too low to highlight individual areas at the moment.

By the end of the period, ridging develops over the southwestern
CONUS, confining strongest mid-level flow to the northwestern CONUS.
Some Elevated or Critical fire risk is possible in this region,
though again, confidence is too low to highlight individual areas at
this time.
