Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted December 8, 2023 Administrators Share Posted December 8, 2023 SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0256 PM CST Fri Dec 08 2023 Valid 101200Z - 161200Z The potential for fire weather concerns appears limited through the extended period. Long-range ensemble guidance shows fairly good agreement in the synoptic evolution beyond this weekend and into next week. A stout surface high will become established east of the Rockies in the wake of this weekend's upper trough (currently deepening over the Southwest/Southern Plains) and attendant surface low/cold frontal passage. This should favor cool and quiescent conditions across much of the country with low fire weather potential. A weak disturbance around mid-week should bring rain chances to parts of the Plains, further limiting fire weather concerns. One region that may see localized fire conditions is southern CA into the lower CO River Basin. While the offshore pressure gradient is expected to abate Sunday into early next week, residual offshore winds may support pockets of elevated fire weather conditions Sunday into early Monday. The resumption of north/northeasterly low to mid-level flow on the western periphery of a weak upper disturbance mid-week, combined with persistent dry conditions, may support an additional round of localized elevated fire weather conditions around D7/Wed to D8/Thur. Trends across this region will continue to be monitored. ..Moore.. 12/08/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
