Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0142 AM CDT Sat Aug 13 2022

Valid 131200Z - 141200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
Upper ridging will prevail across the central U.S., with some
breakdown of the ridge/modest mid-level troughing likely across the
Northwest today. Deep-layer flow/forcing beneath and to the
periphery of the upper ridge is expected to be too modest to support
a significant wildfire-spread threat anywhere across the CONUS.
Locally though, a few exceptions may exist. While the sustained
surface wind field is expected to remain under 15 mph on a
widespread basis, pockets of 15+ mph surface winds may overlap 15-20
percent RH all along the periphery of the ridge, spanning from
northern California into the Northern Rockies and the Plains states.
Monsoonal moisture meandering northward along the upper ridge axis
will aid in thunderstorm development across the central and northern
Rockies. A mix of wet and dry thunderstorms is likely, and a
localized wildfire-start threat may acco*pany strikes away from
storm cores into dry fuel beds, with gusty thunderstorm winds
potentially exacerbating ongoing fires.
