Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0159 AM CDT Sun Apr 17 2022

Valid 181200Z - 191200Z

...Synopsis...
A large-scale ridge will build over the western CONUS, while modest
westerly midlevel flow persists over the Southwest. Farther east, a
strong midlevel trough will track eastward across the Middle MS
Valley, while breezy northwesterly surface winds develop across the
Middle MO Valley in its wake.

...Southwest into south-central CO...
Modest downslope flow will result in widespread 5-15 percent RH
during the afternoon, where sustained west-southwesterly surface
winds will approach 15 mph. The lack of a tighter surface pressure
gradient and modest midlevel flow should mitigate a higher-end
fire-weather threat, though elevated conditions are still expected.

...Middle MO Valley...
Sustained northwesterly surface winds near 15-25 mph will develop
amid 20-25 percent RH during peak heating. While these conditions
will be near-critical, light rainfall across the region casts
uncertainty on the overall fire-weather threat. With that said, the
dry/breezy conditions co*bined with dry fuels should support at
least elevated conditions.
