Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0454 PM CDT Fri Jun 14 2024

Valid 161200Z - 221200Z

A broad trough over the western CONUS is expected to dominate the
forecast for the period, with a strong mid-level jet across the
northwest CONUS for the early part of the period. This strong jet
will likely promote dry and breezy conditions on Days 3 and 4
(Sunday and Monday) across portions of the southwest CONUS. When
combined with drying fuels in the region, 70% Critical probabilities
have been maintained across portions of Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and
New Mexico. Additionally, a secondary mid-level jet is expected to
translate eastward near the California coast on Day 4, which may
promote dry, breezy conditions with receptive fuels in the
California Central Valley.

By Day 5 (Tuesday), the stronger mid-level flow translates to the
northeast, and the surface flow in the region lessens accordingly.
Some fire risk may occur across portions of the southern Rockies
through the end of the period, though confidence in specific
locations is not high enough to introduce any areas at the moment.
