Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0151 AM CST Fri Feb 23 2024



Valid 231200Z - 241200Z



...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



...Synopsis...

In the mid levels, troughing is forecast to intensify over the

eastern US as ridging builds over the West Coast. Strong mid-level

flow will shift over the east as high pressure begins to move into

the central US. At the surface, a weak cold front will move offshore

with north/northwesterly winds likely behind it. While weaker winds

are expected over much of the CONUS, somewhat stronger flow is

possible in the lee of the Rockies over parts of the High Plains

this afternoon. Localized dry and breezy conditions may emerge

across portions of NE, CO, and KS. However, stronger winds will be

limited in overlap with dry fuels suggesting fire-weather concerns

will be limited for much of the country.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0152 AM CST Fri Feb 23 2024



Valid 241200Z - 251200Z



...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



...Synopsis...

An upper-level ridge will build in across the western US with

downstream troughing across the east D2/Saturday through the

remainder of the weekend. Surface high pressure over the Plains will

slowly weaken allowing for increasing winds through the day.

Southerly dry return flow will increase across the southern High

Plains and breezy northwest flow is expected in the lee of the

Rockies and central High Plains. While breezy, poor overlap of gusty

winds, low humidity and dry fuels is expected. As such, fire weather

concerns will remain low for much of the CONUS. Locally dry and

breezy conditions are possible across parts of the northern/central

Plains and central TX. However, fuels across these regions are less

receptive to fire spread suggesting fire-weather concerns will

remain localized.
