Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0109 AM CDT Tue Apr 09 2024

Valid 101200Z - 111200Z

...Synopsis...
A strong mid-level jet streak will align with northwesterly
low-level flow in the wake of a surface low across Texas on
Wednesday. This will result in very strong northwesterly flow across
much of Texas with sustained winds up to 30 mph expected near the
Red River and into southern Texas, beneath the strongest mid-level
flow. In this same region, relative humidity of 20 to 25 percent is
expected. These conditions will combine for critical meteorological
fire weather conditions. However, have only added an Elevated
delineation, as fuel status remains questionable across portions of
southern Texas. Fuels greened up across this region earlier this
spring, but there has been minimal precipitation over the past 2
weeks. An additional complicating factor is the potential for
wetting rain on Day 1 (Tuesday/Tuesday night) which would
significantly impact fuel receptiveness across some portions of the
area. Therefore, an Elevated delineation seems warranted at this
time.
