U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL FNUS28 KWNS 231940 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0140 PM CST Mon Dec 23 2024 Valid 251200Z - 311200Z A progressive upper-air pattern will result in several mid-level troughs traversing the CONUS this week into early next week. Several instances of surface lee troughing/cyclone development are likely across the central CONUS as surface high pressure dominates the East Coast and much of the U.S. west of the Rockies. Cool conditions in the northern CONUS, as well as appreciable precipitation accumulations west of the Rockies and east of the central Plains (to the East Coast) should limit significant wildfire spread concerns over most locales. Occasionally dry and/or breezy conditions may occur over the High Plains by afternoon peak heating on several days given the anticipated frequency of surface lee trough/cyclone development over the central U.S. However, overlapping dry low-level air, stronger surface winds, and receptive fuels, should be too localized or brief to support significant wildfire-spread potential. ..Squitieri.. 12/23/2024
