Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0926 AM CST Thu Nov 21 2024

Valid 211700Z - 221200Z

The previous forecast remains on track with no changes required.
Recent 15 UTC surface observations show winds increasing to around
15 mph with occasionally stronger gusts and RH falling into the
30-40% range. This aligns well with recent guidance and supports the
ongoing forecast (outlined in the discussion below).

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1150 PM CST Wed Nov 20 2024/

...Synopsis...
With a strong upper low over the lower Great Lakes region, strong
flow aloft will overspread portions of the Southeast into Florida. A
deepening low east of the DelMarVa will promote enhanced surface
wind behind the cold front. With minimal precipitation falling over
North Florida, where fuels are quite dry for this time of year, a
period of elevated fire weather is expected. Winds of 10-15 mph and
RH perhaps near 20% in some spots can be expected by the afternoon.
The boundary layer should also deepen sufficiently to support gusts
of up to 20 mph.
