CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA ... && ####018001031#### FNUS28 KWNS 022050 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0248 PM CST Sat Mar 02 2024 Valid 041200Z - 101200Z A mid-level trough will eject into the northern Plains early this week, encouraging broad surface troughing and some low-level moisture return across eastern portions of the Plains states. Dry and occasionally breezy surface conditions are possible across portions of the southern into central High Plains as well as parts of the central Plains through much of the week. At the moment, these conditions appear localized, though a few Elevated highlights may be needed by the Days 1-2 periods. The best chance for at least Elevated surface winds/RH would be toward the end of the week (Days 6-8/Thursday_Saturday) over the southern High Plains as another mid-level trough amplifies over the southern U.S., encouraging dry downslope flow. ..Squitieri.. 03/02/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
