Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0106 AM CDT Tue Apr 09 2024



Valid 091200Z - 101200Z



...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR THE TEXAS BIG BEND...



...Synopsis...

A compact upper-low will move out of the Southwest and into central

Texas today. A strong mid-level jet will emerge across the Texas Big

Bend where a deeply mixed atmosphere is present. 20 to 25 mph

sustained surface winds are expected with relative humidity of 8 to

12 percent. Fuels in the region are very dry with minimal

precipitation in the past 30 days. 



Therefore, critical fire weather conditions are expected. A wind

shift will occur during the evening as a cold front moves south into

the region which may lead to erratic fire spread with any ongoing

fires in the region.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0109 AM CDT Tue Apr 09 2024



Valid 101200Z - 111200Z



...Synopsis...

A strong mid-level jet streak will align with northwesterly

low-level flow in the wake of a surface low across Texas on

Wednesday. This will result in very strong northwesterly flow across

much of Texas with sustained winds up to 30 mph expected near the

Red River and into southern Texas, beneath the strongest mid-level

flow. In this same region, relative humidity of 20 to 25 percent is

expected. These conditions will combine for critical meteorological

fire weather conditions. However, have only added an Elevated

delineation, as fuel status remains questionable across portions of

southern Texas. Fuels greened up across this region earlier this

spring, but there has been minimal precipitation over the past 2

weeks. An additional complicating factor is the potential for

wetting rain on Day 1 (Tuesday/Tuesday night) which would

significantly impact fuel receptiveness across some portions of the

area. Therefore, an Elevated delineation seems warranted at this

time.
