   ...Synopsis...
   Fire weather concerns appear limited for today across the country,
   though localized elevated conditions may emerge across parts of the
   central Plains and southwest New Mexico. Early-morning water vapor
   imagery depicts a de-amplifying upper low over western AZ. This
   feature is expected to meander east through the day, resulting in
   modest surface pressure falls across western NM and maintaining
   30-40 knot mid-level winds over the region. While pressure gradient
   winds are expected to be modest (10-15 mph) diurnal heating of a
   very dry low-level air mass (well sampled by the 00 UTC EPZ
   sounding) will support deep mixing and downward momentum transfer of
   the stronger mid-level winds, manifesting as 20-30 mph gusts at the
   surface. With afternoon RH minimums in the teens expected again for
   today, localized elevated fire weather conditions may emerge across
   southwest NM where these stronger gusts are most likely to occur
   based on recent ensemble guidance. Across the Plains, a clipper low
   moving southeastward out of the Canadian Prairies will maintain a
   moderate pressure gradient over the central to northern Plains.
   Winds between 15-20 mph are expected, with some RH reductions into
   the 20-35% range possible as a dry air mass (currently upstream over
   the High Plains) overspreads the region. Confidence in
   sustained/widespread elevated conditions remains limited, and fuels
   remain only modestly dry. These concerns preclude highlights at this
   time, but localized elevated conditions are possible across portions
   of NE and SD.

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

   ...Synopsis...
   Fire weather concerns are expected to be limited for Wednesday
   across the country. The upper low currently over western Arizona
   will shift into the southern Plains through Wednesday evening.
   Widespread rain chances will overspread the southern Plains and
   Southwest regions through the day limiting fire weather potential
   for most areas. One exception is West Texas and south-central NM
   where rainfall should be limited. While breezy southwest winds are
   likely, recent guidance suggests the probability of reaching
   elevated RH thresholds is low. Elsewhere across the country, cool
   temperatures, weak winds, and/or recent rain/snowfall preclude fire
   weather concerns.


U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 282155

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0355 PM CST Tue Jan 28 2025

   Valid 301200Z - 051200Z

   Fire weather concerns will remain low in the early part of the
   extended forecast. An upper-low that has remained over the western
   US will eject across the southern Rockies into the Plains
   D2/Wednesday through D3/Thursday, bringing windy conditions but also
   chances for precipitation across the central/southern Plains. A
   surface cyclone will develop across the southern Plains D3/Thursday,
   with strengthening of a lee trough across the High Plains. This
   pattern will favor a period of elevated fire-weather conditions,
   particularly across southwestern and western Texas where freeze
   cured grasses may support risk for fire spread. Elsewhere, marginal
   fuels and chances for additional precipitation should limit the
   potential for critical conditions.

   Zonal flow behind this departing system will favor periods of
   enhanced westerly flow overspreading the southern Rockies through
   the weekend, with lee troughing redeveloping D5/Saturday and
   D6/Sunday. This will bring potential warm/dry downslope flow across
   portions of western Texas into the Oklahoma Panhandle. Some portion
   of this region will have seen recent rainfall. However, Elevated to
   locally Critical fire-weather concerns will be possible across far
   western Texas where less precipitation was received. For now,
   confidence is low in highlighting any specific areas.
