Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

Model trends continue to suggest only a very brief period of near 15
mph winds in parts of southern New England into the northern
Mid-Atlantic. Though fuels are dry enough that impacts may be
minimal, some light, spotty showers are possible with the frontal
passage as well. The overall scenario continues to suggest locally
elevated conditions tomorrow afternoon.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0157 AM CDT Thu Oct 31 2024/

...Synopsis...
Quasi-zonal mid-level flow will persist over the US Friday as an
upper trough moves offshore. A cold front will follow, with high
pressure building over the central US. Behind the front, dry
offshore flow is likely over parts of the Northeast and Mid Atlantic
Coast. Downslope winds are also possible over parts of the central
Rockies and High Plains. While localized gusty winds are possible,
the lack of stronger synoptic winds suggests fire-weather concerns
are low.

...Northeast...
In the wake of the aforementioned cold front, a couple hours of dry
and breezy conditions are possible across the Mid Atlantic Coast.
Breezy 10-15 mph winds are possible through midday with adiabatic
drying supporting somewhat lower RH within very dry fuels. However,
offshore pressure gradients should gradually weaken through the
afternoon, with the strongest winds quickly abating. While fuels are
very dry, the overlap with gusty winds and low humidity will be
brief and localized.
