Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0449 PM CDT Tue Jul 05 2022
Valid 071200Z - 131200Z
An expansive large-scale ridge will gradually build westward over
the Rockies into the Great Basin, while midlevel troughing persists
over the Pacific Northwest until around Day 6/Sunday. Between these
features, enhanced southwesterly flow aloft will continue over the
Intermountain West, with a series of embedded jet streaks crossing
the area.
As the enhanced southwesterly flow overspreads a diurnally-deepening
boundary layer over the Great Basin into the central Rockies each
afternoon, elevated fire-weather conditions will be possible where
fuels are receptive to wildfire spread. This will especially be the
case on Days 4-5/Friday-Saturday over far northeast CA, NV, UT, and
western WY -- where fuels are generally supportive of large-fire
spread. With that said, confidence in the development of any more
than spotty/localized critical conditions across these areas is
limited owing to the lack of a tighter surface pressure gradient and
stronger flow aloft -- precluding Critical probabilities at this
time.
Over the southern Plains, hot/dry conditions and limited
precipitation will yield continued drying of fine fuels into next
week. These conditions, coupled with periods of breezy southerly
surface winds aided by lee troughing could support locally elevated
conditions -- particularly along and west of I-35 in OK and TX each
afternoon.
