Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1154 PM CST Thu Dec 07 2023

Valid 091200Z - 101200Z

...Synopsis...
The upper-level trough will move through the southern Plains and
towards the lower Mississippi Valley, amplifying as it progresses.
At the surface, a cold front will continue to the east through the
Plains. Dry, gusty conditions are likely for at least parts of the
southern High Plains into the Rio Grande Valley. RH may end up more
marginal on Saturday compared to Friday due to the cold advection.
Values near 20% appear possible for the Trans-Pecos into the
adjacent Rio Grande Valley. Winds of 15-20 mph (with higher gusts)
are probable as well. Fine fuels are expected to be marginally dry
and support an elevated fire weather threat.

Offshore winds in southern California will likely peak Saturday
morning. Moderately strong winds could continue through much of the
day, particularly in the wind-prone areas. RH could fall as low as
10-15% in some areas with 15-20% being more common. Recent fuel
guidance continues to suggest unreceptive fuels, especially within
the higher elevations. Drier fine fuels are possible in the
valleys/plains. Despite elevated to critical meteorological
conditions, fuels should generally mitigate most concerns. Locally
elevated conditions are still possible for several hours.
