Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0250 PM CDT Thu Sep 19 2024

Valid 211200Z - 271200Z

Multiple mid-level troughs will traverse the Intermountain West and
eject into the central and northern Mississippi Valley through the
middle of next week, encouraging surface high pressure and cooler
air to gradually overspread much of the CONUS. Appreciable rainfall
accumulations are likely across the southern Plains into the Ohio
Valley through next week, which should help dampen very dry fuels
across these regions. Approaching cooler temperatures or meaningful
rainfall accumulations over much of the CONUS suggests that
quiescent fire weather conditions should prevail for this upcoming
week. Locally dry and breezy conditions may occur over portions of
the Interior West or High Plains, but such conditions appear too
localized to warrant critical probabilities this outlook.
