Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0240 PM CST Mon Mar 04 2024



Valid 061200Z - 121200Z



A mid-level trough will deepen while ejecting into the Plains states

late this week into this weekend. Associated surface lee troughing

will encourage dry downslope flow behind a cold front across

portions of the southern High Plains to the Rio Grande Days

4-6/Thursday-Saturday. At the moment, guidance agreement is

strongest in depicting widespread Elevated to Critical conditions

along the Texas/New Mexico border for Day 4/Thursday, where 40

percent Critical probabilities have been introduced. For Days

7-8/Sunday-Monday, surface high pressure will settle over the Plains

amid zonal flow aloft. Low-level dry air will meander across the

central/southern High Plains, though the medium-range guidance also

suggests that the surface wind field should be weak, precluding

Critical probabilities this outlook.
