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.
