Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0209 PM CDT Thu Sep 19 2024

Valid 201200Z - 211200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

The previous forecast remains generally on track. A few hours of dry
and occasionally breezy conditions may precede isolated thunderstorm
development across northern portions of the Texas Panhandle into
northwestern Oklahoma. However, the marginal nature of these
conditions suggest that wildfire-spread concerns should remain
localized, so no fire weather highlights have been introduced this
outlook.

...Synopsis...
A low-latitude midlevel low will advance eastward across the Lower
CO River Valley, while a related belt of strong deep-layer
southwesterly flow overspreads the Southwest. Boundary-layer mixing
into this strong deep-layer flow will favor dry/breezy conditions
across portions of western NM and eastern AZ during the afternoon.
While this could lead to locally elevated fire-weather conditions,
fuels are generally unsupportive of large-fire spread at this time.
Elsewhere, a minimal overlap of breezy surface winds and low RH
should limit fire-weather concerns.
