Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1227 AM CDT Sat May 04 2024

Valid 041200Z - 051200Z

...Synopsis...
An upper-level trough will be moving northeast through the
central/northern Plains into the Upper Midwest today. In the
Southwest, a low-amplitude shortwave will pass by to the south. At
the surface, a cold front will move southward into the southern High
Plains and push cooler air against the southern Rockies.

...Southwest...
Areas of dry and breezy conditions are probable for parts of the
region. Perhaps an area where winds will be enhanced is in the
southwest New Mexico vicinity. There, modestly stronger mid-level
winds will be present along with some surface pressure gradient
enhancement near the westward-moving cold front. Though relatively
confined, elevated fire weather conditions are possible during the
afternoon. Wind of around 15-20 mph and RH of 10-20% are expected.
