####018001310#### FNUS21 KWNS 040548 FWDDY1 Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1147 PM CST Sun Mar 03 2024 Valid 041200Z - 051200Z ...Synopsis... Moderate west-southwesterly midlevel flow will persist across the southern High Plains -- along the southern periphery of the primary mid/upper-level jet extending across the central Rockies and adjacent Plains. Related downslope flow off the southern Rockies will result in 15-20 percent minimum RH across the southern High Plains, where a modest surface pressure gradient will yield 15-20 mph sustained westerly surface winds. Given dry/receptive fuels across the area, low-end elevated fire-weather conditions are expected across parts of eastern NM into West TX. Farther north, a broad/weak elongated surface low will drift slowly northeastward from the central/southern Plains into the Midwest. On the backside of this feature, locally dry/breezy post-frontal conditions could support a brief period of elevated fire-weather conditions across parts of KS, where fuels have become increasingly dry. However, these conditions appear too brief/localized for an Elevated area at this time. ..Weinman.. 03/04/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$ ####018000891#### FNUS22 KWNS 040549 FWDDY2 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1148 PM CST Sun Mar 03 2024 Valid 051200Z - 061200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Midlevel westerly flow will continue to weaken across the southern Plains on D2/Tuesday, favoring an overall decrease in dry/breezy downslope flow and fire-weather conditions. Farther north over the central Plains (particularly portions of northern NE), there is some potential for locally dry/breezy conditions to develop during the afternoon, as shallow boundary-layer mixing extends into a belt of strong flow aloft. While locally elevated fire-weather conditions are possible here, the overall threat appears too marginal for an Elevated area at this time. ..Weinman.. 03/04/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
