Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0122 AM CDT Fri May 17 2024
Valid 181200Z - 191200Z
...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
...Synopsis...
During the day Saturday, more zonal mid-level flow is expected to
develop across the western CONUS as the trough over the northern
Plains moves into Canada and ridging starts to build across the
central CONUS. Some dry and breezy conditions are possible in areas
with a deeply mixed airmass below the stronger mid-level flow across
the northern Rockies. However, fuels are moist and not favorable for
large fire spread. Farther south where fuels are dry (Southwest into
the southern High Plains), winds should be mostly light. Therefore,
despite single-digit relative humidity, overall fire weather
concerns remain low.
Some dry and breezy conditions are possible in the Florida Peninsula
on Saturday with winds of 15 to 20 mph and relative humidity of 30
to 40 percent. Fuels appear most favorable south of Lake Okeechobee,
while the dry/breezy conditions will mostly be north of there. Since
there is minimal overlap of the dry fuels and the worst conditions,
no Elevated delineation has been highlighted at this time.
