Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0229 PM CDT Wed Sep 18 2024

Valid 191200Z - 201200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...20z Update...
No changes were made to the prior outlook. Gusty post-frontal winds
are possible across parts of the Dakotas, through the Cascade Gaps
and parts of northern CA. However, much of the fuels over these
areas should remain poorly receptive to fire spread following recent
precipitation. See the prior discussion for more info.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0154 AM CDT Wed Sep 18 2024/

...Synopsis...
In the wake of a midlevel low moving northeastward from the northern
Plains into Canada, an expansive surface high will develop across
much of the West. At the same time, a deep midlevel low and strong
deep-layer southwesterly flow will overspread southern CA and the
Lower CO River Valley. Overall, this pattern will limit the overlap
of strong surface winds and warm/dry boundary-layer conditions atop
dry fuels.
