Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1145 AM CDT Wed Oct 09 2024
Valid 091700Z - 101200Z
...17z Update...
Morning model guidance has increased surface winds across parts of
the northern Rockies. Occasional 15-20 mph surface winds are
possible across parts of eastern ID and far southwestern MT this
afternoon. At least a few hours of overlap with RH below 20% and dry
fuels could support elevated fire-weather conditions.
Dry and breezy conditions are also possible in the lee of the
Cascades. However, fuels here are less receptive. Otherwise, the
prior outlook remains valid with no changes, see the previous
discussion.

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will impinge on the northwestern U.S. as another
trough ejects into the Atlantic from the East Coast today. Surface
high pressure and associated cooler/dry air will overspread most
locales west of the Rockies and east of the Mississippi River, while
weak lee troughing will prevail in the Plains states. Surface wind
fields over most of the CONUS should be light or variable, with any
wildfire spread threats locally constrained to terrain-favoring
areas with dry fuel beds, precluding fire weather highlights this
outlook.
