Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

0334 PM CDT Mon Mar 29 2021



Valid 311200Z - 061200Z



An upper-level ridge will overspread the western CONUS starting

Wednesday and this ridge will persist through next weekend. This

will alleviate most fire weather concerns. The only exception will

be in the northern Rockies where stronger mid-level flow is expected

around the north side of the ridge. 



Deep mixing and downslope flow is expected on D4/Thursday in

portions of northern Montana. This may bring some critical fire

weather conditions. Slightly weaker winds from the ECMWF preclude

higher probabilities at this time, but 70 percent probabilities may

be needed in later outlooks if GFS wind speeds appear more likely.

In addition, some lee troughing may occur as this jet streak moves

east of the northern Rockies. This could bring some critical fire

weather conditions to portions of the southern High Plains, however,

marginal relative humidity and winds preclude the addition of

critical probabilities at this time. 



Some dry and windy conditions are possible next weekend in portions

of Montana and the northern Plains. However, the signal is not that

strong at this time and therefore, no probabilities have been

included.
