Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0141 AM CST Fri Jan 10 2025

Valid 111200Z - 121200Z

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will rapidly traverse the West Coast as another
upper trough impinges on the Mississippi Valley tomorrow (Saturday).
A surface low will move across the Midwest in tandem with the
Mississippi Valley upper trough, with secondary surface low
development likely over the southern High Plains. Downslope flow is
likely over eastern New Mexico into western Texas. However,
questions remain regarding how low RH will dip by afternoon peak
heating, precluding fire weather highlights this outlook.

An upper trough traversing the West Coast will encourage some dry
offshore flow across southern California. Though guidance differs on
how dry the surface airmass will be, sustained offshore wind speeds
may exceed 15 mph, especially in terrain-favored areas, warranting
Elevated highlights.
