Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0314 PM CDT Sat Apr 20 2024



Valid 221200Z - 281200Z



Multiple mid-level troughs will amplify across the eastern U.S. as

an upper-level ridge builds over the Plains states through the

middle of the week. Strong northwesterly downslope flow across the

northern High Plains may support at least locally Elevated fire

weather conditions Day 3/Monday afternoon. Thereafter, medium-range

guidance agrees that a series of mid-level troughs will eject into

the Plains states Days 6-8 (Thursday-Saturday), supporting multiple

instances of surface-cyclone development and the eastward

progression of a dryline. For each day Thursday-Saturday, critically

dry and windy conditions are expected behind the dryline over the

southern High Plains. 70 percent Critical probabilities have been

introduced where guidance consensus and consistency is greatest in

depicting overlapping favorable winds/RH to support significant

wildfire-spread potential.
