DAY 1 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0128 AM CDT TUE APR 23 2024
VALID 231200Z - 241200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
..SYNOPSIS
A MIDLEVEL TROUGH WILL ADVANCE EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE MIDWEST
TOWARD THE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE PERIOD, WHILE AN UPPER RIDGE
ENCOMPASSES MUCH OF THE WEST. ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE MIDLEVEL
TROUGH, A POST-FRONTAL AIR MASS WILL INFILTRATE THE NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL PLAINS, WHERE BREEZY/GUSTY NORTHERLY SURFACE WINDS ARE
EXPECTED. OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NE AND KS, THESE WINDS COULD
BRIEFLY OVERLAP 20-30 PERCENT AFTERNOON RH, FAVORING LOCALLY
ELEVATED FIRE-WEATHER CONDITIONS -- GIVEN RECEPTIVE FUELS ACROSS THE
AREA. HOWEVER, THESE CONDITIONS APPEAR TOO BRIEF AND MARGINAL FOR
ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS AT THIS TIME.
FARTHER WEST, DRY/BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
SOUTHWEST DURING THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER, FUELS ARE GENERALLY NOT
SUPPORTIVE OF LARGE FIRES AT THIS TIME.
