Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1156 PM CST Sat Dec 07 2019 Valid 081200Z - 091200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... A longwave positively tilted trough aloft will deepen across the CONUS throughout the period, accompanied by an 80+ knot mid-level jet traversing the Southern Plains. As a result, surface high pressure will move east into the Atlantic, with low-pressure development across the Plains. Breezy westerly surface conditions are expected across the central and southern High Plains during the afternoon hours given a favorable combination of gradient winds and afternoon boundary-layer heating and downward mixing of the stronger flow aloft. Nonetheless, fuels are marginal across the area, and surface RH is expected to be too high to support large wildfire-spread threats. ..Squitieri.. 12/08/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1157 PM CST Sat Dec 07 2019 Valid 091200Z - 101200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... As a mature longwave trough moves across the CONUS during the Day 2/Monday period, high pressure and colder air will spill across much of the central and northern CONUS. The cooler temperatures atop marginally receptive fuels, and potentially accumulating precipitation in the southern Plains suggest that large wildfire-growth potential will be negligible through Day 2. ..Squitieri.. 12/08/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
