Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0433 PM CDT Thu May 02 2024



Valid 041200Z - 101200Z



Relatively benign fire weather conditions are expected over the

weekend. However, by the end of the weekend and into early next week

a strong trough is expected to develop across the western CONUS with

strong mid-level flow across the Southwest and lee cyclogenesis in

the Plains. This will result in several days of severe weather

concern across portions of the southern High Plains.



...D4/Sun-D7/Wed - Southern High Plains...

Operational and ensemble guidance has come into agreement for

several days of strong mid-level flow across the Southwest and a

large lee cyclone in the central/northern Plains. This pattern will

support several days of Critical fire weather conditions. Some dry

and breezy conditions may begin as early as Sunday afternoon as

stronger mid-level flow emerges across New Mexico ahead of the

approaching mid-level trough. The strongest winds are likely on

Monday and Tuesday when sustained winds over 30 mph and relative

humidity in the single digits appears likely. At this time it

appears Wednesday should be the last day of significant fire weather

concern as confidence is growing for a strong cold front to surge

south across the Plains and bring cooler weather toward the end of

next week.
