850 FNUS28 KWNS 151931 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0229 PM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024 Valid 171200Z - 231200Z A broad mid-level trough will progress across the Interior West toward the Rockies this week, with multiple mid-level impulses likely to eject into the Northern Plains as the broader mid-level trough gradually de-amplifies. Spotty rainfall should dampen fuels for several areas west of the Rockies through the week. Potentially Elevated-equivalent fire weather conditions may develop over portions of the High Plains on Day 3/Tuesday and especially Day 4/Wednesday. However, scattered to potentially widespread showers and thunderstorms (with the first in a series of mid-level impulses) may dampen fuels in several locales Tuesday into Tuesday night. As such, no Critical probabilities were introduced this outlook. ..Squitieri.. 09/15/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
