000 FNUS21 KWNS 290653 FWDDY1 Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0153 AM CDT Mon Apr 29 2024 Valid 291200Z - 301200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low across the CONUS today. Weak lee surface troughing will continue to bring localized breezes across portions of the southern High Plains. Height rises and weakening flow aloft should keep coverage of this threat limited, precluding the need to include any areas at this time. Afternoon relative humidity will still drop as low as 15 percent with localized periods of Elevated fire weather, main across eastern New Mexico. ..Thornton.. 04/29/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
000 FNUS22 KWNS 290654 FWDDY2 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0154 AM CDT Mon Apr 29 2024 Valid 301200Z - 011200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... A belt of enhanced mid-level flow will spread across the Northern Rockies from an upper-low across the northwestern US on Tuesday. A cold frontal passage will bring widespread wetting rainfall across much of eastern Montana and Wyoming. Behind the cold front, a dry continental air mass will overspread this region, with relative humidity dropping as low as 15 percent amid sustained winds 15-20 mph. Fuels in this region are expected to be marginal before additional rainfall. However, some potential for drying of grasses and fine fuels may support localized fire weather concerns. For now, this potential is too low to include any areas with this outlook. ..Thornton.. 04/29/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
000 FNUS28 KWNS 282044 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0342 PM CDT Sun Apr 28 2024 Valid 301200Z - 061200Z Mostly zonal mid-level flow will be present across the western CONUS at the beginning of the period. Flow will start to amplify on Wednesday and Thursday as a mid-level jet streak moves into the Inter Mountain West. As this occurs, lee cyclogenesis is expected which will make dry and breezy conditions likely across portions of the Southwest and southern High Plains Wednesday and Thursday. Beyond Thursday a broad trough is expected in the western CONUS but stronger mid-level flow and breezier conditions are not anticipated near dry fuels across the Southwest and southern High Plains. ...D4/Wed - D5/Thu - Southwest and the Southern High Plains... Dry and breezy conditions are expected across the Southwest and southern High Plains on Wednesday and Thursday in response to the developing lee cyclone, with additional support from the increasing mid-level flow over a deeply mixed airmass. Single digit relative humidity is possible. In addition, most of this area has seen little to no precipitation over the past 2 weeks with additional drying expected early this week. Therefore, Critical fire weather conditions are possible on Wednesday and Thursday. ..Bentley.. 04/28/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
