Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0344 PM CDT Mon Apr 22 2024



Valid 241200Z - 301200Z



A relatively active fire weather pattern is poised to set up across

the southern High Plains late this week through this weekend. By

Thursday, the first in a series of mid-level troughs will approach

the southern Rockies, with surface low development likely across the

central High Plains. By Thursday afternoon, a dryline will surge

eastward across the southern High Plains, with Critically dry and

windy conditions occurring behind the dryline. For Friday through

the weekend, the approach/passage of another mid-level trough and

associated surface cyclone will support continued eastward dryline

surges over the southern High Plains, accompanied by Critically dry

and windy conditions each afternoon. 70 percent Critical

probabilities have been issued Days 4-6 (Thursday-Saturday) where

Critical conditions should be most prolonged, and where fuels are

most receptive to wildfire spread. Dry conditions should persist

across the southern High Plains into early next week, though it is

currently unclear if the surface winds will approach Critical

thresholds.
