Valid 191200Z - 201200Z
...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
...Synopsis...
A weak/low-amplitude southern-stream trough will track eastward
across the Southwest, encouraging breezy/gusty southwesterly winds
amid a dry/deeply mixed boundary layer across the region. While
elevated meteorological conditions are likely across portions of
eastern AZ and western NM during the afternoon, marginal fuels
should keep the fire-weather threat fairly localized -- precluding
highlights at this time. Elsewhere across the CONUS, a limited
overlap of warm/dry/breezy conditions will limit fire-weather
concerns.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0124 AM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024
Valid 201200Z - 211200Z
...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
...Synopsis...
An expansive post-frontal air mass, characterized by cool surface
temperatures and weak surface winds, will encompass much of the
central and eastern CONUS, limiting fire-weather concerns. Dry
conditions will persist over the Southwest, though weak surface
winds and marginal fuels will also limit fire-weather potential
here.

Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0341 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024
Valid 201200Z - 261200Z
Through the middle of next week, models suggest that the upper-level
flow pattern will be quasi-zonal across the CONUS. The strongest
upper-level winds will remain across then northern tier states
during that same period. For the middle/latter portions of next
week, models have suggested that mean troughing will set up in the
West. At the surface, after an surge of cooler air reaches into the
northern/central Gulf this weekend, some return flow is likely to
occur into the southern Plains by the middle of next week. Between
cooler temperatures as well as recent/expected precipitation, fire
weather concerns will generally be minimal for most locations. Dry
weather is expected across parts of the Southwest where fuels
continue to dry. As troughing develops in the West, an increase in
surface winds would occur. Depending on fuel receptiveness by
mid/late next week, some increase in fire weather concerns could
occur.
