Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1051 AM CST Fri Nov 08 2024

Valid 081700Z - 091200Z

...17z Update...
The previous forecast remains valid with only minor changes. The
Elevated area was expanded over parts of CT and MA. Gusty winds and
brief reduction in relative humidity may support some fire-weather
risk this afternoon. Farther south, wind gusts of 15-20 mph are
being observed near the dry cold front over parts of the Mid
Atlantic. Elevated to locally critical conditions will be possible
through the early afternoon before relative humidity begins to
increase. See the prior discussion for more info.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1253 AM CST Fri Nov 08 2024/

...Synopsis...
A quick moving shortwave and attendant dry cold front will traverse
areas near the Mid-Atlantic into New England today. Westerly flow
aloft will overspread the region with surface winds increasing to
around 10-15 mph. Ahead of the front, afternoon relative humidity
reductions to 30-35 percent will be possible. With the front
passage, winds will shift to become northwesterly, remaining gusty
but with steadily increasing relative humidity. An Elevated
delineation was maintained with this outlook, given uncertainty in
sustained winds speeds approaching Critical thresholds. However,
given Critical fuels, some brief and localized Critical conditions
will be possible.
