Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0353 PM CST Wed Jan 22 2025

Valid 241200Z - 301200Z

...Southern California...
A very dry air mass will persist across southern CA on Day 3/Friday,
though offshore winds will be gradually subsiding during this time.
While locally elevated fire-weather conditions will be possible
along wind-prone mountains/valleys, critical conditions are not
currently expected. Thereafter, onshore flow will favor increasing
moisture and precipitation chances across the region for this
weekend into early next week -- generally reducing fire-weather
concerns through the remainder of the extended forecast period.

...Southern Plains and Southwest...
On Day 3/Friday, dry/breezy return flow will develop across the
southern Plains, aided by a deepening lee cyclone over the High
Plains. While locally elevated fire-weather conditions will be
possible, generally marginal fuels should limit the potential for
critical conditions. By Day 4/Saturday, strong southerly surface
winds and low RH will develop across portions of the Southwest ahead
of an approaching midlevel trough. Elevated fire-weather conditions
will be possible, though critical conditions are not currently
expected -- precluding Critical probabilities at this time.
