Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...17z Update...
No changes were made to the current valid outlook. Localized
elevated fire-weather conditions are possible across parts of the
southern High Plains. However, area fuels remain largely unreceptive
to fire spread given recent precipitation and cooler temperatures.
See the prior discussion for more info.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0129 AM CST Sun Nov 24 2024/

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will move through the Northern Plains today, and
as it does, the attendant surface low will also move east -- from
the central Plains into the mid-Mississippi Valley. The cyclonic
flow around this surface low will help drive a surface cold front
south and east through the Southern Plains. The flow behind this
front will be a dry, downslope flow that will support at least a few
hours of elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions.
However, recent rains have left fuel moisture sufficiently high that
fire weather highlights are not warranted.
