   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0453 PM CDT Mon May 27 2024

   Valid 291200Z - 041200Z

   Fire weather concerns are expected to remain mostly low in the
   extended, with large-scale ridging expected over the western US.
   This will limit concerns over the Desert Southwest and High Plains
   where fuels are the driest. Elevated and spotty Critical fire
   weather concerns will be possible in lee of the higher terrain
   across central and southern New Mexico into portions of Arizona,
   where downslope breezes will overlap single digit relative humidity
   and very warm temperatures, mainly on D3/Wed. A small 40 percent
   delineation was added where confidence is highest in single digit
   relative humidity overlapping 10-15 mph sustained winds.

   Mid-way through the period D5/Friday, a trough across the
   Intermountain West will track into the Central Plains, with surface
   troughing strengthening again across the High Plains. Elevated to
   Critical fire weather may return across New Mexico into western
   Texas through the end of the period. Differences in long range model
   solutions on the overall height pattern and progression of any
   troughs leads to low confidence in the overall pattern and including
   areas at this time.
