Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0511 PM CDT Wed Apr 10 2024

Valid 121200Z - 181200Z

An upper-level wave will propagate eastward across the eastern US on
D3 - Friday, with high pressure building in across the central US.
Another upper-level low will approach the west coast on D4 -
Saturday, with weak lee troughing developing across the Plains. This
will bring a return of breezy/dry conditions across the high Plains
on D4 - Saturday and D5 - Sunday.

Low level moisture will also begin to stream northward into the
southern Plains on D5 - Sunday ahead of the western trough. Overall,
limited coverage does not warrant inclusion of probabilities at this
time. Confidence continues to increase for strong lee cyclone
development on D6 - Monday and potential for fire weather concerns
across the central and southern Plains. Given the favorable pattern,
probabilities will need to be added in future outlooks where
confidence is highest behind the surface dry line that fuels will be
receptive by D6. For now, these details remain low confidence.
