Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1131 AM CDT Sun Oct 24 2021 Valid 241700Z - 251200Z No changes have been made to the Elevated area. Late-morning surface observations show sustained winds approaching 20 mph from east-central NM into the TX South Plains, with RH values dropping to 20-25%. Further warming/drying will result in elevated fire-weather conditions for a few hours this afternoon, though winds will tend to decrease with time from west to east as the primary midlevel shortwave trough and surface low move away from the region. See the previous discussion below for more information. ..Dean.. 10/24/2021 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0114 AM CDT Sun Oct 24 2021/ ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough and associated surface low/dryline will move eastward across the central CONUS today as a more pronounced upper trough deepens across the West. Behind the dryline bulge, 15 mph west-southwesterly surface winds coinciding with 15-20% RH are expected for at least a few hours during the afternoon. Given multiple preceding days of dry and windy conditions, with no appreciable rainfall accumulations, finer fuels should be primed enough to support some grass-fire spread, warranting the continuation of Elevated highlights across parts of the southern High Plains. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
