Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted December 20, 2023 Administrators Share Posted December 20, 2023 SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0346 PM CST Wed Dec 20 2023 Valid 221200Z - 281200Z Across the CONUS, amplified and progressive mid-level flow is expected through much of the extended forecast period. Pacific troughing will move inland and continue eastward into the central US starting Friday, while transient ridging over the eastern US will gradually move offshore this weekend. Cool temperatures and unsettled weather are likely over the western and central CONUS with the passage of the upper trough and a surface cold front. Widespread precipitation is expected over the CONUS through the weekend and into next week as the upper-level system moves to the east. Toward the end of the forecast period, another Pacific trough will move onshore over the West Coast as temporary ridging builds over the central US. Onshore flow will support widespread precipitation with cool to mild temperatures. Given the lack of strong winds juxtaposed with warm temperatures and dry fuels, widespread critical fire-weather conditions appear unlikely through the next 7 days. ..Lyons.. 12/20/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
