Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted January 5 Administrators Share Posted January 5 SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0254 PM CST Fri Jan 05 2024 Valid 071200Z - 131200Z A progressive upper-level pattern is expected to continue through the end of next week and possibly into next weekend. Shortwave troughs are expected to move from the Southwest into the southern Plains and eventually the East both around Monday and again around next Friday as currently forecast. This overall pattern will favor cool/cold conditions over a broad swath of the CONUS. Furthermore, precipitation can be expected as strong surface cyclones develop along with their parent troughs. Guidance does show agreement that a minimum in precipitation is probable in parts of the Trans-Pecos extending into the Edwards Plateau and parts of the Rio Grande Valley. The driest and windiest conditions appear most likely to occur this coming Sunday as well as next Thursday, with lesser conditions possible on intervening days. Current fuel status would suggest low potential for critical fire weather in these areas. Additionally, there is the uncertainty of where and how much precipitation will occur. These areas will continue to be monitored as winds could be strong, but highlights will continue to be withheld at this time. ..Wendt.. 01/05/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
