Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0143 AM CDT Sun Oct 27 2024

Valid 281200Z - 291200Z

...Synopsis...
An upper-level trough will deepen and shift eastward over the
western US Monday as mid-level flow intensifies. Preceded by an
amplified upper-level ridge, well above normal temperatures will
continue as gusty wins increase over the Plains. Near record
dryness, abnormally high temperatures and strong winds will likely
support widespread elevated to locally critical fire-weather
conditions.

...Southern Plains and Southwest...
As the upper-trough deepens over the western US, strong flow aloft
will intensify ahead of it across the Southwest and southern Plains.
A lee trough will deepen to the east, bolstering southwesterly
surface winds of 15-25 mph. Dry downslope flow overlapping with RH
of 15-20% will support widespread elevated to locally critical
fire-weather conditions. The most likely corridor for sustained
near-critical conditions appears to be across parts of the central
TX Panhandle. Here, winds may gust upwards of 30 mph with RH as low
as 15%. However, model consensus on the duration/overlap of the
stronger winds, lower RH and the driest fuels is low. Additionally,
stronger surface winds are possible farther north and west, but less
receptive fuels should limit concerns.

Across parts of KS and OK, the eastward extent of elevated to
locally critical conditions remains uncertain. Dependent on the
moisture return from the Gulf given more southerly winds, RH will
not be as low. However, strong wind gusts of 25-35 mph and RH near
30% may still support several hours of elevated fire danger given
very dry fuels and recent fire activity.
