Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0955 AM CST Mon Dec 10 2018 Valid 111200Z - 121200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... No changes. See previous discussion below for more details. ..Bentley.. 12/10/2018 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1231 AM CST Mon Dec 10 2018/ ...Synopsis... A progressive, amplified pattern will continue across the Lower 48 on Tuesday, with mid-level disturbances traversing the northern High Plains, Desert Southwest, and eastern Great Lakes. Downstream of the High Plains trough, surface cyclogenesis will occur in the general vicinity of the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandles, resulting in dry, downsloping flow across portions of the central and southern High Plains. While RH values will generally remain above critical thresholds, areas of 10-15 mph westerly flow will combine with areas of dry (mainly finer) fuels and result in locally/briefly elevated fire weather in those areas during the afternoon. These marginal conditions (and marginal fuel states) preclude highlights for this outlook however. Elsewhere, recent rainfall and unfavorable atmospheric profiles will result in quiescent fire weather throughout the forecast period. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
