Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1114 AM CST Tue Mar 02 2021



Valid 031200Z - 041200Z



A fairly intense upper low will migrate onshore across California,

spreading intense low- and mid-level flow across much of Arizona and

vicinity.  Most areas will likely lack moist fuels for any extensive

fire-weather threat, and mid-level cloudiness may also limit

boundary layer mixing during peak heating hours.  Ongoing drought

suggest, however, that a few areas will have dormant fuels

supportive of fire spread.  Given widespread areas of 20-30 mph

surface winds (with a few higher gusts) and a dry low-level airmass,

an elevated fire-weather area has been added.  Moist advection on

the southern extent of this elevated area (mainly in Arizona) may

limit the extent of very low RH there.

...Synopsis...

A compact upper low is expected to move into southern California on

Wednesday. This will lead to strengthening flow across the Southwest

and Great Basin. Some dry and breezy conditions are expected from

southwest Arizona into the Great Basin. However, fuels in this

region are not dry enough for any fire weather concern. Elsewhere

light winds should mitigate any threat for large fires.
