####018001774#### FNUS22 KWNS 031758 FWDDY2 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1157 AM CST Mon Feb 03 2025 Valid 041200Z - 051200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... The previous forecast outlined below remains on track with no changes needed. Localized fire weather concerns remain possible across the southern High Plains into western NM and possible as far west as eastern AZ to the north of the Mogollon Rim. However, latest ensemble guidance continues to suggest the coverage of elevated fire weather conditions will remain patchy/scattered with inconsistent overlap of dry fuels. ..Moore.. 02/03/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0154 AM CST Mon Feb 03 2025/ ...Synopsis... As ridging aloft continues to intensify over the central US, so to will broad troughing over much of the West. Several embedded perturbations will cross the southern Rockies deepening a lee low over the southern High Plains and a second low over the Great Basin. This could support periods of stronger surface winds (15-25 mph) over portions of NM and far west TX. Warm temperatures and westerly winds appear likely to support low humidity and drying of area fuels, west of returning surface moisture over the southern Plains. Some fire-weather risk is possible over central NM and far west TX where the stronger winds could interact with areas of more receptive fuels. Localized fire-weather concerns are possible and further drying of short-hour fuels is also expected. However, more widespread fire-weather concerns are not currently expected given the relatively minor overlap of sustained winds, low humidity and receptive fuels. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
