Some flow amplification appears probable by Tuesday into Wednesday. Thereafter, model guidance suggests a broad trough in the East with a amplified ridge in the West. At the surface, cold air will move into most areas east of the Divide with each successive trough moving across the CONUS. Areas of the Southwest and southern High Plains will likely remain dry during the extended period. Despite relatively dry fuels in these areas, winds are expected to remain modest. Ensemble guidance consequently shows low probabilities for critical fire weather. As the upper-level ridge amplifies in the West, surface high pressure is expected to build into the Great Basin, peaking on Wednesday morning. This pattern would favor offshore winds across the typically wind-prone areas of southern California. Given the large scale features involved, in addition to a consistent signal in ensemble guidance, 40% probabilities were added for Tuesday night into Wednesday morning when the offshore pressure gradient is expected to be maximized. At this point in time, upper-level wind support is expected to be weak. ..Wendt.. 12/13/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$ ####018000271#### FNUS38 KWNS 132116 PFWF38 DAY 3-8 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK AREAL OUTLINE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0314 PM CST FRI DEC 13 2024 VALID TIME 151200Z - 211200Z FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK POINTS DAY 3-8 ...
