Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted December 23, 2023 Administrators Share Posted December 23, 2023 SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0238 PM CST Sat Dec 23 2023 Valid 251200Z - 311200Z The potential for critical fire-weather conditions appears low through the extended forecast period. From Day 3/Monday through around Day 5/Wednesday, an expansive closed midlevel low will deepen as it moves slowly eastward from the central Plains into the OH Valley. At the same time, a related frontal system will occlude over parts of the Mid/Upper MS Valley. On the backside of this system, breezy/gusty northwesterly surface winds are expected across parts of the southern Plains on Days 3-5/Monday-Wednesday, which may briefly overlap a warming/drying post-frontal air mass. However, any fire-weather concerns should generally be mitigated by preceding rainfall atop already marginal fuels. Farther east, strong deep-layer west-southwesterly flow on the southern periphery of the closed low will overspread portions of the Mid-South and Southeast on Days 4-6/Tuesday-Thursday. This may promote breezy/gusty surface winds amid marginal RH reductions each afternoon. While fuels are rather dry across the region, accumulating rainfall early in the extended period should generally limit fire-weather concerns. ..Weinman.. 12/23/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
