Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1141 PM CST Fri Dec 08 2023

Valid 091200Z - 101200Z

...Synopsis...
An upper-level trough will amplify as it moves into the Southeast
today. This will push a cold front through the Plains to near the
Appalachians. Surface high pressure will increase within the Great
Basin and Four Corners regions.

...Southern California...
Offshore winds will likely be maximized early this morning. Winds of
20-25 mph (with higher gusts) will overlap with at least marginally
reduced RH. RH values will fall to near 10-15% in some locations by
the afternoon. Winds will slowly lose some intensity with time, but
should remain 15-20 mph for several hours. Lower elevation fuels
will be the primary driver of fire spread. However, these fine fuels
are only marginally dry at present. Elevated fire weather concerns
are possible where these fuels are driest.

...Texas...
Elevated fire weather is possible within part of the Permian Basin
into the Edwards Plateau. Post-frontal winds will be 15-20 mph amid
15-20% RH. Locally lower RH could occur where a greater downsloping
wind component exists. Fine fuels are marginally dry and will
support a low-end threat for a large fire. Cold advection will tend
to limit the fire weather threat, particularly farther north, as RH
will likely remain above critical thresholds in those areas.
