Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0314 PM CDT Sat Apr 20 2024

Valid 221200Z - 281200Z

Multiple mid-level troughs will amplify across the eastern U.S. as
an upper-level ridge builds over the Plains states through the
middle of the week. Strong northwesterly downslope flow across the
northern High Plains may support at least locally Elevated fire
weather conditions Day 3/Monday afternoon. Thereafter, medium-range
guidance agrees that a series of mid-level troughs will eject into
the Plains states Days 6-8 (Thursday-Saturday), supporting multiple
instances of surface-cyclone development and the eastward
progression of a dryline. For each day Thursday-Saturday, critically
dry and windy conditions are expected behind the dryline over the
southern High Plains. 70 percent Critical probabilities have been
introduced where guidance consensus and consistency is greatest in
depicting overlapping favorable winds/RH to support significant
wildfire-spread potential.
