Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0458 PM CDT Thu Oct 17 2024

Valid 191200Z - 251200Z

On the backside of a closed midlevel low over the Four Corners
region, moderate deep-layer northerly flow will persist across
southern CA early on Day 3/Saturday. This mid/upper-level support,
combined with a tight pressure gradient, will yield a continuation
of dry/breezy offshore flow -- favoring elevated to locally critical
conditions into early Day 3/Saturday. Thereafter, deep-layer winds
and the pressure gradient will both weaken across southern CA,
though dry conditions will continue.

The closed midlevel low/trough will continue east-northeastward
across the central Rockies into early next week, with breezy winds
expected across the Plains. However, low-level moisture return and
eventual precipitation will limit RH reductions and the overall
fire-weather risk.
