DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1243 PM CDT TUE MAR 24 2026
TONIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY...THIS ONGOING PERIOD OF QUIET WEATHER
WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MOST OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD.
THERE WILL BE A COUPLE OF DISTURBANCES, THE FIRST BEING TOMORROW
(WEDNESDAY) AND THE SECOND NEXT MONDAY, THAT COULD POTENTIALLY
SQUEEZE OUT A STRAY SHOWER OR TWO ACROSS A SMALL PORTION OF THE CWA.
UNFORTUNATELY THOUGH, CONFIDENCE THAT THIS'LL BE THE CASE IS
CURRENTLY VERY LOW, WITH OVERALL DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD.
THE MORE NOTABLE IMPACT ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD
WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THIS WEEKEND.
OVERNIGHT FRIDAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY, ANOTHER DRY COLD FRONT WILL
DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. IN ITS WAKE,
NORTH WINDS WILL USHER IN A FAIRLY DRY AIRMASS THAT'LL OVERSPREAD
THE REGION. BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON, WINDS WILL BE GUSTY WITH LOW
AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES EXPECTED. THIS, COMBINED WITH
ONGOING DRY SOIL CONDITIONS AND FUELS LOOKS TO BRING ABOUT SOME
CONCERN FOR INCREASED WILDFIRE DANGER. THIS POTENTIAL IS STILL
SEVERAL DAYS OUT AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED IN LATER FORECASTS.
IF THIS MODEL TREND CONTINUES, AT A MINIMUM, A "LIMITED THREAT"
FOR FIRE DANGER MAY BE NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF, IF NOT ALL OF, THE
FORECAST AREA THIS WEEKEND, AGAIN PRIMARILY ON SATURDAY. /19/
