Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0434 PM CDT Mon Sep 23 2024

Valid 251200Z - 011200Z

A cutoff low will bring cool/moist conditions to much of the
south-central and eastern CONUS with limited fire weather concerns.
In addition, a tropical system will bring significant rainfall to
much of the southeast CONUS and parts of the East Coast.

West of this cutoff low, ridging will build across the western
CONUS. As this occurs, some warm and dry conditions are expected
from the Southwest to the Great Basin. On Wednesday, some dry and
breezy conditions are possible in the lee of the northern Sierra and
southern Cascades as a mid-level trough traverses the region and
mid-level flow strengthens. Fuels in this region and are not
critically dry. In addition, relative humidity will only drop to
around 18 to 25 percent in the afternoon. Therefore, while some
Elevated fire weather conditions are possible, Critical conditions
seem unlikely due to the combination of unreceptive fuels and only
Elevated winds/relative humidity.

Beyond Wednesday, minimal overlap between low relative humidity and
windy conditions, especially where fuels are critically dry,
precludes any significant fire weather concerns.
