368 FNUS28 KWNS 222157 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0355 PM CST Fri Nov 22 2024 Valid 241200Z - 301200Z The large scale pattern will be characterized by troughing across the west and eastern US and increasing zonal westerly flow into the central US. The western trough will bring several rounds of precipitation across the western US through early next week, which will aid in limiting fuel concerns. Similarly, several rounds of precipitation and cooler temperatures will limit fuel concerns across the eastern US, though some breezy post-frontal winds will be likely. With the increase in zonal flow and enhancement of westerly flow across the Rockies, some areas of dry/windy conditions will be possible in the lee of the southern Rockies. Some dry/wind conditions may extend to the southern Plains as lee troughing increases across the High Plains by the weekend. Recent precipitation and cold air intrusion should limit fire weather concerns. ..Thornton.. 11/22/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
