Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted December 16, 2023 Administrators Share Posted December 16, 2023 SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0351 PM CST Sat Dec 16 2023 Valid 181200Z - 241200Z The mid-level flow pattern across the CONUS will remain amplified at the start of the extended forecast period. A broad and deep trough with a strong coastal low will continue to intensify over the East Coast before shifting eastward by midweek. At the same time, a Pacific trough will move inland with broad southwesterly flow extending over parts of CA, WA and OR. Flow aloft will weaken as transient ridging builds over the central US through the end of the work week. Simultaneously, the Pacific trough will transition to a cutoff low over the West Coast with widespread precipitation likely into the early weekend. Across the center of the country, weaker flow aloft beneath transient ridging and surface high pressure should keep temperatures mild, but winds quite weak. Stronger flow aloft will likely return late next weekend into early next week as several upper-level troughs are expected to transit the central US. With the active flow pattern expected to continue toward the end of the extended forecast period, widespread precipitation, mild temperatures and weak winds should dampen fire-weather concerns over much of the CONUS. ..Lyons.. 12/16/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
