Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0337 PM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024



Valid 181200Z - 241200Z



An upper-level trough will continue into the Great Lakes and

Northeast into the weekend. Models are suggesting that a more

amplified western ridge/eastern trough pattern will develop by early

next week. A push of cooler air will move into the southern Plains

late this week with another push expected during the weekend.



Given recent and expected precipitation, fire weather concerns

within much of CONUS should remain low. Dry and modestly breezy

conditions are expected to remain across parts of the Southwest

through part of the weekend, west of a back-door cold font. However,

fuels across the region are generally marginally receptive with

perhaps the exception of increasingly dry areas of central/western

New Mexico. Even so, potential for critical fire weather appears too

low for highlights.
