Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted January 11 Administrators Share Posted January 11 SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0329 PM CST Thu Jan 11 2024 Valid 131200Z - 191200Z The upper-level pattern during the extended period will generally feature broadly cyclonic flow across much of the CONUS east of the Intermountain West. Near and along the West Coast, an upper-level ridge is expected to persist through the period. Guidance suggests that this feature may eventually move eastward perhaps during the middle/latter portions of next week; however, uncertainty is rather high. This pattern will favor cold temperatures at the surface for a broad area through the middle of next week. Coupled with precipitation, these cold conditions should mitigate fire weather concerns for most areas through the period. Potential for elevated fire weather will exist in parts of the Trans-Pecos this Saturday/Sunday as weak surface trough develops ahead of a low-amplitude shortwave trough. There is some uncertainty on the strength of the surface winds given the modest trough. Further uncertainty exists with the spatial extent of the threat given the potential for the cold front push into the region from the east. ..Wendt.. 01/11/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
