Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0154 AM CDT Sat Oct 26 2024

Valid 271200Z - 281200Z

...Synopsis...
As upper ridging shifts eastward, Pacific troughing should gradually
amplify southwesterly flow over much of the western US. Increased
southwesterly flow will deepen a lee trough and increase surface
winds across the western US. To the east, high pressure should
continue to intensify supporting offshore winds over New England.
Elevated fire-weather conditions are possible given unusually warm,
dry and windy conditions over the CONUS.

...Wyoming and High Plains...
As the ridge axis shifts eastward, increasingly strong southwesterly
flow will overspread the Rockies and High Plains Sunday. The surface
lee trough should deepen, accelerating downslope flow across WY and
the central High Plains. Gusts of 15-25 mph may overlap with RH
values of 15-20% and dry fuels over eastern WY, the western Dakotas
and NE/CO. Elevated fire-weather conditions appear likely. Stronger
winds and lower humidity are possible farther west into central WY
and parts of MT. However, recent precipitation and cooler
temperatures have moderated fuels here suggesting a more limited
fire-weather threat.

...New England...
Offshore flow should continue, but weaken some, Sunday across parts
of the East Coast. Gusty winds near 15 mph may remain across parts
of coastal New England where RH values are expected to be below 30%.
A few hours of elevated to locally critical fire-weather conditions
are possible within very dry and receptive fuels. Concerns will ease
as high pressure shifts eastward, weakening winds and allowing a
cooler air mass to moderate RH values into Monday.
