Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

Valid 011200Z - 021200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
A mid-level low over the southern Plains will transition into
weakening upper troughing as it progresses northeastward this
afternoon. At the surface, a slow-moving cold front will extend from
the Great Lakes region into the Texas Hill Country. Widespread
rainfall is expected along the front, bringing much-needed relief to
dry fuels in the eastern Arkansas River Basin. Meanwhile, ridging
will rapidly expand over the Desert Southwest, promoting
above-normal temperatures and dry conditions in much of the western
Great Basin and California. Fuels will continue to dry under these
meteorological conditions, but light surface winds limit fire
weather concerns.
