Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0120 AM CST Fri Feb 19 2021



Valid 201200Z - 211200Z



...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



...Synopsis...

Surface high pressure/cooler air, as well as recent widespread

accumulated precipitation, will serve to limit major wildfire spread

potential across much of the eastern CONUS during the Day 2/Saturday

period. Farther west, an upper trough will continue to deepen as it

overspreads the southwest into central CONUS and fosters surface lee

troughing in the southern High Plains through the day. Dry downslope

flow along the lee of the Southern Rockies, and strong, dry gradient

flow across portions of southern California into central and

southern Arizona/New Mexico are expected. Surface sustained winds

may exceed 20 mph across much of the southwest, with several locales

potentially seeing RH drop as low as 15-20% in spots. While such

conditions typically warrant at least an Elevated delineation, the

lack of more receptive fuels to fire spread suggests that fire

weather highlights are not needed at this time.
