Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1022 AM CDT Fri Sep 27 2024

Valid 271700Z - 281200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

The previous forecast remains on track with no changes needed. Dry
conditions are noted this morning across much of the West, but
low-level winds should remain benign for today. Locally elevated
conditions may develop in the lee of the Lewis Range and Big Belt
mountains in central MT where downslope winds may gust up to 20-30
mph with RH in the 20-25% range; however, these conditions should
remain too localized for a broader risk area.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1237 AM CDT Fri Sep 27 2024/

...Synopsis...
On Friday an upper-level ridge will remain in place over the
Southwest and Rocky Mountains, while the remnants of Hurricane
Helene rotate over the eastern CONUS centered near TN. This pattern
will not favor widespread fire weather conditions, as any stronger
mid-level flow and associated surface winds, acco*panying a high
latitude zonal jet streak, are expected to remain over the western
and central provinces of Canada. Due to a lack of appreciable
rainfall over the northern Great Plains, however, fuels will
continue to beco*e more receptive to ignition and spread there.
