U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
ZCZC SPCFWDDY2 ALL FNUS22 KWNS 080540 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1240 AM CDT Wed May 08 2024 Valid 091200Z - 101200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... The elongated upper trough will evolve into a closed low over the Great Basin on Thursday. Farther east, the primary upper trough will move into parts of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. At the surface, a cold front will push south into the Southern Plains and cooler air will push up against the southern Rockies. Given the cooler air pushing into New Mexico, areas with the driest fuels will not likely see much in the way of fire weather concerns. Some dry and breezy conditions appear possible in parts of Arizona into western New Mexico. Here, enhanced mid-level winds and a modestly stronger surface pressure gradient will drive winds of around 15 mph with locally greater speeds. Fuels in Arizona are still in the process of drying out and winds do not appear strong enough to support more than a locally elevated threat for western New Mexico. ..Wendt.. 05/08/2024

ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL FNUS28 KWNS 072147 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0447 PM CDT Tue May 07 2024 Valid 091200Z - 151200Z A continental air mass and a building surface high will overspread the central/southern Plains beyond D2/Wednesday, which will limit fire weather concerns for much of the extended. Elsewhere across the country, widespread precipitation chances and/or recent rainfall will limit fire weather concerns. Continued upper-level troughing over the western US will support weak lee troughing across the High Plains and will maintain areas of dry/breezy conditions across eastern AZ/southwest NM. This may support episodes of Elevated fire weather concerns. Rain chances are forecast to increase towards the end of the work week across the Four Corners/southern High Plains, which should further limit fire potential. ..Thornton.. 05/07/2024
