Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

Valid 031700Z - 041200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

No change to the Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook with benign fire weather
and/or fuel conditions across CONUS. A southward progressing cold
front moving through the Desert Southwest is initiating an offshore
wind event across southern CA this morning. Surface high pressure
settling into the Great Basin will maintain the offshore pressure
gradient, supporting east-northeast winds within favored terrain and
gaps through tonight. Despite elevated east-northeast winds of 15-25
mph and relative humidity dropping to around 15%, relatively cool
temperatures and marginal fuel dryness should mitigate significant
wildfire spread potential.

...Synopsis...
On the backside of a midlevel trough moving across the Four Corners
region, high pressure over the Intermountain West will promote an
enhanced offshore pressure gradient across southern CA. While
locally dry/breezy conditions are expected (especially across
wind-prone mountains and valleys), marginal fuels should limit most
fire-weather concerns.
