SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0340 PM CDT Fri Sep 20 2024 Valid 221200Z - 281200Z ...Synopsis... By late this weekend through early next week, mid to upper-level troughing is generally expected from the central to eastern CONUS, while ridging impacts the Southwest and Great Basin. This pattern will promote cooler air masses and precipitation chances from the Plains into the Midwest, with warmer and drier conditions west of the Rockies. The latter will likely lead to more receptive fuels developing across the Great Basin, Southwest, and portions of the Pacific Northwest. However, a lack of stronger flow aloft and significant low pressure areas developing will keep the overall fire weather wind threat very low across much of these regions. By mid to late next week, north Pacific mid to upper-level shortwave troughs traversing the western Canadian provinces will result in increasing southwesterly flow through the troposphere over the Pacific Northwest. Confidence in at least elevated fire weather conditions impacting any specific region, however, appears far too low to introduce 40 percent probabilities at this time. ..Barnes.. 09/20/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
