Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1223 AM CDT Fri Mar 15 2024



Valid 151200Z - 161200Z



...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



...Synopsis...

A cutoff low will remain within the lower Colorado River Valley

today. Within the northern Plains and parts of the upper Midwest, an

upper-level trough will dig southward out of Canada. A surface low

will deepen in southern Canada, increasing the surface pressure

gradient in the northern Plains. Breezy conditions are likely across

the Dakotas. RH may fall to near critical levels, particularly in

pars of northern South Dakota. However, there is some uncertainty

given the increase in mid/high-level clouds. Furthermore, the

strongest surface winds appear probable to be displaced farther

north where RH reductions are even less certain. Locally elevated

conditions may occur near the North/South Dakota border.
