Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0459 PM CDT Sat May 25 2024

Valid 271200Z - 021200Z

Fire weather concerns are expected to remain generally low in the
extended, given large-scale ridge over the west limiting concerns
over the Desert Southwest and High Plains where fuels are the
driest. Occasional periods of localized Elevated and spotty Critical
fire weather concerns will be possible in lee of the higher terrain
across central and southern New Mexico, where downslope breezes will
overlap single digit relative humidity and very warm temperatures.
Overall, this threat looks to remain isolated and short in duration.


Late in the period on D7/Friday, a trough across the Intermountain
West will track into the Central Plains, with surface troughing
strengthening again across the High Plains. Elevated to Critical
fire weather may return across New Mexico into western Texas.
Differences in long range model solutions lead to low confidence in
including areas at this time.
