Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted January 15 Administrators Share Posted January 15 SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0330 PM CST Mon Jan 15 2024 Valid 171200Z - 231200Z A progressive upper pattern is expected through the week into early next week, with multiple mid-level troughs poised to traverse the CONUS up to the weekend. The progressing mid-level troughs will reinforce surface high pressure and an accompanying arctic airmass, limiting wildfire-spread potential over most locales. Guidance consistency continues to show surface low development over the southern High Plains on Wednesday in advance of one of the upper troughs. Here, downslope flow will encourage some dry/breezy conditions, but the lack of fuel receptiveness suggests that Critical probabilities are not currently warranted. By the weekend, upper-ridging will overspread the central CONUS before another mid-level trough ejects into the Plains states. While surface temperatures might rise above the freezing mark across the southern Plains by early next week, low-level moisture will also increase, keeping wildfire-spread concerns at a minimum. ..Squitieri.. 01/15/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
