CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA ... && ####018001253#### FNUS28 KWNS 262052 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0250 PM CST Sun Jan 26 2025 Valid 281200Z - 031200Z An upper-level low will linger across the western US through D5/Thursday, bringing breezy conditions but also increasing potential for precipitation. On D3/Tuesday across central South Dakota and Nebraska, breezy and dry conditions will be possible as the Great Lakes trough deepens with enhanced northwesterly flow aloft moving out of Canada. Though downslope warming and drying are forecast, latest guidance in this region suggests fuels are marginal. Later in the period next weekend, the upper-level low across the western US will eject into the Plains, bringing potential for windy/dry conditions across portions of the High Plains and Southern Plains. This may favor periods of elevated fire-weather conditions, particularly across southwestern and western Texas where freeze cured grasses may support risk for fire spread. Elsewhere, marginal fuels and chances for additional precipitation should limit the potential for critical conditions. ..Thornton.. 01/26/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
