Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1159 AM CDT Wed Apr 10 2024



Valid 101700Z - 111200Z



Minor adjustments were made to expand the D1 Elevated further south

along the Rio Grande Plains into the Rio Grand Valley. While some

areas east of this region received wetting rainfall, these areas

received little to no precipitation. Coordination with local

partners indicates that fuels may be more receptive to spread across

these regions, supporting the southward expansion. Otherwise, the

outlook remains on track. See previous discussion below for more

information.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1218 AM CDT Wed Apr 10 2024/



...Synopsis...

Moderate to strong northwesterly mid-level flow will overspread the

Rio Grande today. A deeply mixed airmass will be in place which will

allow some of this stronger flow to mix to the surface. Sustained

winds around 15 to 20 mph with relative humidity around 20 percent

are expected. Removed the Elevated area from far south Texas due to

ongoing rain this morning which is expected to bring wetting rain to

this entire region.
