Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0156 AM CDT Mon Sep 16 2024

Valid 161200Z - 171200Z

...Synopsis...
Within the base of a deep midlevel cyclone moving eastward across
the Great Basin, a related jet streak will overspread the Lower CO
River Valley. Here, boundary-layer mixing into the strengthening
flow aloft, coupled with a tightening pressure gradient peripheral
to an evolving surface cyclone, will favor 20-25 mph sustained
southerly surface winds. Despite a gradual increase in moisture/RH,
diurnal heating should still support a corridor of around 20 percent
RH amid the strong surface winds along the Lower CO River Valley --
favoring elevated fire-weather conditions.

Elevated fire-weather conditions are also expected over portions of
the central High Plains -- where breezy/gusty southerly surface
winds will overlap 20 percent RH near a lee trough during the
afternoon. While spotty rainfall during the past 24 hours could
limit fuel receptiveness over parts of the area, mostly receptive
fuels should still yield some fire-weather risk.

Farther east, warm/dry conditions are expected over portions of OH
and KY -- along the southwestern periphery of an expansive surface
anticyclone. While sustained surface winds around 10 mph should
limit the overall fire-weather threat, around 20 percent RH and very
dry/receptive fuels will still pose localized fire-weather concerns
during the afternoon.
