Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted January 12 Administrators Share Posted January 12 SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0249 PM CST Fri Jan 12 2024 Valid 141200Z - 201200Z A series of mid-level troughs will traverse the CONUS during the upcoming week, reinforcing an arctic surface airmass over much of the CONUS and limiting wildfire-spread potential in most places. One localized exception would be portions of Far West Texas, which will experience dry downslope flow early in the week amid marginally receptive fuels. If guidance consensus continues to suggest that 15+ mph sustained westerly winds will develop during the afternoon, Elevated highlights may need to be added in the Days 1-2 period. Medium-range guidance also depicts surface lee troughing along the southern High Plains between mid-level troughs on Day 6/Wednesday, which may promote dry downslope flow. However, too much uncertainty remains this far in advance in terms of fuel receptiveness or best area of overlapping winds/RH to deduce with confidence whether Elevated-equivalent conditions will occur. ..Squitieri.. 01/12/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
