Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0348 PM CST Sat Nov 23 2024

Valid 251200Z - 011200Z

A zonal mid-level flow regime across the CONUS will gradually
amplify through early next week as broad troughing develops over the
eastern US. As the eastern trough deepens, strong northwesterly flow
and weak ridging should build over the western and central US. A
surface low and strong cold front will develop and move eastward mid
to late week, supporting much colder and wetter conditions over the
central and eastern CONUS. The arctic air mass and multiple rounds
of precipitation should limit fuel availability and fire-weather
concerns.

To the west, high pressure will intensify through the remainder of
the forecast period over the Rockies and Great Basin. Some offshore
pressure gradients could support dry and breezy conditions into
parts of CA into next weekend, but model variations and the
potential for precipitation limit predictability of any fire-weather
concerns.
