Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0347 PM CDT Sat Sep 21 2024

Valid 231200Z - 291200Z

A complicated/chaotic upper-air pattern will evolve across the
United States this week. Early in the week, the upper-low across the
Southwest this weekend will continue to open up and lift in/through
the Plains. In its wake, an expansive ridge will take hold across
the West, driving a short-wave trough southward through the Plains,
by midweek. By late week, a series of short-wave troughs will move
across the Pacific Northwest coincident with a closed low developing
across the southern Plains. The result will be cooler/wetter pattern
across southern Plains and eastern United States. Across the west,
although a ridge will develop by early week, generally weak flow and
unreceptive fuels will limit fire-weather concerns.

Thus, large-scale critical fire-weather concerns appear to be
minimal this week.
