Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0312 PM CST Tue Dec 17 2024

Valid 191200Z - 251200Z

Upper-level ridging in the West will slowly shift eastward the rest
of this week. Stronger shortwave troughs are expected to move
through the Plains/East acco*panied by surface high pressure/cold
front. By the weekend, flow aloft is forecast to beco*e more
quasi-zonal in nature. By next week, current guidance suggests a
trough will move into southern California and then the Southwest.

Some lingering, locally elevated conditions may continue in the
typical Santa Ana mountains/foothills Thursday. The pressure
gradient will be weakening with time and whatever remaining threat
exists will be quite spatially limited. Additional fire weather
concerns are possible in parts of the central High Plains as the
upper-level troughs progress eastward. Temperatures will be much
cooler except near the terrain/downslope influences. Again, concerns
may only be localized. With models predicting a lower-latitude
trough moving into the Southwest early/mid next week, there could be
an increase in fire weather concerns in the southern High Plains.
Continued lack of precipitation will keep fuels dry in this area.
