ZCZC SPCFWDDY1 ALL FNUS21 KWNS 060550 Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1250 AM CDT Sun Oct 06 2024 Valid 061200Z - 071200Z ...Synopsis... A large upper-level trough positioned over the Great Lakes region will shift east throughout the day, while a broad zone of enhanced mid-level flow overspreads much of the northern Great Plains. At the surface, a cold front will continue to progress southeastward, draped across parts of the Ohio Valley early in the day and reaching parts of the Mid-Atlantic by the end of the period. Consequently, gusty post-frontal northwesterly winds will manifest throughout the afternoon/evening across a broad area of the upper Midwest. Sustained winds of 15 mph with RH values into the 20-30 percent range will be common across this region amid fuels that appear at least marginally receptive to large-fire spread. Therefore, the area delineating elevated fire-weather conditions has been maintained for the region, with a minor expansion made into parts of northern Ohio and southeastern portions of the LP of Michigan. ..Karstens.. 10/06/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
