NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0202 AM CDT FRI APR 10 2026
VALID 111200Z - 121200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
..SYNOPSIS
UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING WILL SHIFT FROM THE GREAT PLAINS TO THE EASTERN
CONUS AS LONGWAVE TROUGHING SHIFTS OFFSHORE OF THE NORTHEAST ON
D2/SATURDAY. A CLOSED UPPER-LEVEL LOW WILL SIMULTANEOUSLY APPROACH
THE CALIFORNIA COASTLINE WHILE A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH
TRAVERSES NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN AND NORTHERN GREAT
PLAINS. A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE
MID-ATLANTIC WHILE A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT
PLAINS. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST AND GREAT LAKES.
..PORTIONS OF THE GREAT BASIN
SUSTAINED SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE WINDS OF 15-25 MPH MAY BRIEFLY
OVERLAP REDUCED RH VALUES OF 15-20% ACROSS THE EASTERN/SOUTHERN
GREAT BASIN. THIS MAY PROMOTE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY ELEVATED
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN UTAH AND
NORTHEASTERN ARIZONA SATURDAY AFTERNOON WHERE FUELS WILL HAVE BEEN
PRECONDITIONED BY A COUPLE OF DAYS OF DRY, BREEZY CONDITIONS.
ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS HAVE BEEN WITHHELD AT THIS TIME, HOWEVER, DUE TO
THE POTENTIAL FOR SPORADIC SHOWERS DURING THE AFTERNOON AS WELL AS
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING LINGERING MID/HIGH CLOUD COVER, WHICH MAY
INHIBIT GREATER BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING AND THUS TEMPER RH REDUCTIONS.
TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED FOR FUTURE OUTLOOK ISSUANCES.
