Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0249 PM CDT Fri Jul 22 2022

Valid 231200Z - 241200Z

The previous forecast (see below) remains on track. While widespread
Elevated conditions are still expected across the central Plains
tomorrow afternoon, several showers/thunderstorms are expected to
acco*pany the southward-surging cold front by evening, bringing
potentially meaningful precipitation accumulations. As such, the
wildfire-spread threat will remain too short-lived to warrant
Elevated highlights.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0202 AM CDT Fri Jul 22 2022/

...Synopsis...
Broad midlevel troughing will persist over the western CONUS, while
an embedded shortwave trough and attendant cold front overspread the
northern/central Plains during the afternoon/evening hours.

...Central/Southern Plains... 
Ahead of the approaching cold front, southerly surface winds will
strengthen across the central/southern Plains, where 15-20 percent
RH is expected during the afternoon. Given continued drying of fuels
across the area, locally elevated fire-weather conditions will be
possible. Similar conditions are expected behind the cold front
across the central Plains, where breezy northerly surface winds will
overspread low RH. However, precipitation along/ahead of the cold
front casts uncertainty on the overall fire-weather threat,
precluding highlights at this time.

...Great Basin...
Continued warm/dry conditions are forecast across the Great Basin,
and locally elevated conditions will be possible over primarily
terrain-favored areas. With that said, the lack of a tighter surface
pressure gradient and stronger flow aloft limits confidence in
large-fire potential.
