Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1159 PM CDT Wed Oct 09 2024

Valid 111200Z - 121200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
Upper ridging will prevail east of the Rockies while a mid-level
trough will impinge on the West Coast tomorrow (Friday). Though some
surface troughing may develop across the Southern Plains, high
pressure will dominate across most of the CONUS, encouraging dry
conditions, but with light or variable winds, limiting widespread
significant wildfire-spread concerns. The best chance for localized
wildfire-spread conditions to develop would be the Great Basin by
afternoon peak heating, where RH will be below 15 percent on a
widespread basis. Still, doubts of a stronger surface wind field
developing, combined with only modestly receptive fuels, suggest
that fire weather highlights are not currently needed.
