Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0245 PM CST Wed Dec 13 2023

Valid 151200Z - 211200Z

Fire weather potential remains limited through the extended period.
Long-range guidance shows reasonably good agreement in the eastward
migration of the upper low currently over the lower CO River Valley
into the Southeast over the next several days. This will bring
widespread rain chances across the southern Plains into the Gulf
Coast states where an unseasonably air mass is currently in place.
An amplification of the upper trough building over the West Coast
appears likely as it shifts east over the central CONUS later this
week. This will favor weak gradient winds at the surface, further
limiting fire weather potential. The southern California coast will
continue to see a weak offshore flow regime through the weekend, but
confidence in reaching critical wind/RH thresholds is low, and rain
chances are forecast to increase heading into next week.
Consequently, the emergence of fire weather concerns appears low
through early next week.
