Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted December 28, 2023 Administrators Share Posted December 28, 2023 SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0351 PM CST Thu Dec 28 2023 Valid 301200Z - 051200Z Critical fire-weather conditions are not expected during the extended forecast period, though locally elevated conditions are possible over the southern High Plains on D4/Sunday. On D3/Saturday, a midlevel shortwave ridge will be in place over the southern Rockies, with enhanced west-northwest flow along the northern periphery of this feature. This will promote lee troughing/weak lee cyclogenesis and locally dry/breezy conditions across parts of the southern High Plains during the afternoon. Overall, a minimal overlap of dry/breezy conditions and marginal fuels should limit fire-weather concerns. Thereafter, a southern-stream jet max will track eastward from southern CA and overspread the southern Rockies on D4/Sunday. The strong westerly downslope flow will maintain a weak lee cyclone (ahead of an approaching cold front from the north) and favor dry/windy conditions across southeast NM into West TX. While locally elevated conditions are possible, marginal fuels should limit the potential for critical conditions. Elsewhere across the CONUS, fire-weather concerns appear minimal. ..Weinman.. 12/28/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
