####018002090#### FNUS21 KWNS 050656 FWDDY1 Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1255 AM CST Fri Mar 05 2021 Valid 051200Z - 061200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... The fire weather potential will generally remain low today due to a combination of recent rainfall and the southward progression of cooler air over the Plains as well as marginal fuels elsewhere across the CONUS. A few areas of transient elevated conditions are possible (as noted below), but no robust fire weather concerns are anticipated. ...West Texas... Despite dry fuels from the Panhandle southward into west-central TX, a cold front will continue to progress southward through the day, and usher in cooler temperatures with higher relative humidity. Breezy conditions are possible with northerly winds at 15-20 mph, but the improved RH should mitigate most fire weather concerns. ...New England... A dry, post-frontal air mass will continue to usher in dewpoints in the single digits and low teens for today from the Chesapeake Bay region northeastward into southern Connecticut. Relative humidity values between 25-35% are possible and may coincide with breezy 15-25 mph winds. While elevated meteorological conditions are possible, fuels across the region are not receptive due to either snow cover or relatively high fuel moisture content. ...Central Nevada... Surface pressure falls ahead of an approaching upper-level trough will help increase southerly low-level winds through the day. Downslope warming and drying off the Sierra Nevada will help relative humidity values fall into the teens. Patchy elevated meteorological conditions appear likely over central NV, and may extend as far north as southeastern OR if conditions follow more aggressive/drier model solutions. However, as with the Northeast, fuels across this region appear too moist to support a significant fire weather concern. ..Moore.. 03/05/2021 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
