Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0342 PM CDT Sun Apr 28 2024



Valid 301200Z - 061200Z



Mostly zonal mid-level flow will be present across the western CONUS

at the beginning of the period. Flow will start to amplify on

Wednesday and Thursday as a mid-level jet streak moves into the

Inter Mountain West. As this occurs, lee cyclogenesis is expected

which will make dry and breezy conditions likely across portions of

the Southwest and southern High Plains Wednesday and Thursday.

Beyond Thursday a broad trough is expected in the western CONUS but

stronger mid-level flow and breezier conditions are not anticipated

near dry fuels across the Southwest and southern High Plains.



...D4/Wed - D5/Thu - Southwest and the Southern High Plains...

Dry and breezy conditions are expected across the Southwest and

southern High Plains on Wednesday and Thursday in response to the

developing lee cyclone, with additional support from the increasing

mid-level flow over a deeply mixed airmass. Single digit relative

humidity is possible. In addition, most of this area has seen little

to no precipitation over the past 2 weeks with additional drying

expected early this week. Therefore, Critical fire weather

conditions are possible on Wednesday and Thursday.
