Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0154 AM CDT Sun May 08 2022

Valid 091200Z - 101200Z

...EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL INTO
NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO...WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS PANHANDLES...
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF THE SOUTHWEST INTO THE
SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...

...Synopsis...
Broad upper troughing will prevail across the western and central
U.S., with an embedded mid-level impulse ejecting into the northern
Plains and a second, less pronounced mid-level impulse impinging on
the Rockies tomorrow/Monday. The approach of this second impulse
will encourage surface low development across the central/southern
High Plains, supporting another dangerous day of dry/windy
conditions conducive to rapid wildfire spread across the
Southwest/southern High Plains.

...Southwest into the southern High Plains...
Similar to today, boundary-layer mixing and gradient flow will
encourage the development of widespread 20+ mph sustained
west-southwesterly surface winds and 10-15 percent RH across much of
the Southwest into the southern High Plains tomorrow, warranting
both the maintenance and expansion of Elevated/Critical highlights.
Guidance consensus also depicts a corridor of 25+ mph sustained
winds (with higher gusts) overlapping with 10 percent RH (perhaps
locally lower in spots) and anomalously dry fuels, promoting
dangerous conditions supporting extreme fire behavior. Extremely
Critical highlights were introduced where the most volatile surface
meteorological conditions and receptive fuels will coincide for at
least a few hours Monday afternoon.
