SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0208 AM CST Tue Jan 14 2025
Valid 151200Z - 161200Z
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...
...Synopsis...
A belt of stronger mid-level east-northeasterly flow, along with
surface high pressure over the Great Basin, will continue to support
a pronounced pressure gradient across southern California, where dry
offshore flow will remain a concern for most of the Day 2
(Wednesday) period. Latest guidance consensus shows at least 25 mph
sustained winds amid 10-20 percent RH across terrain favoring areas
from the Ventura Valley to the Laguna Mountains. These conditions
are most likely during the first half of the period, with Critical
highlights added to address the wildfire-spread potential.

0152 AM CST Tue Jan 14 2025
Valid 141200Z - 151200Z
...EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE VENTURA
VALLEY TO THE SAN BERNARDINO MOUNTAINS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...
...Synopsis...
A belt of stronger northeasterly mid-level flow will overspread
southern California as a 500 mb cut-off low attempts to drift
southwest from the coastline today. A localized tightening of the
surface pressure gradient is likely during the morning hours,
encouraging very strong, dry offshore flow from the Ventura Valley
to the Laguna Mountains. Widespread 20-30 mph sustained offshore
winds are likely (perhaps with gusts exceeding 50 mph at times) for
much of the period, warranting the maintenance of Critical
highlights. Similar to yesterday, the best chance for sustained
30-40 mph winds amid 10 percent RH will be from around the Ventura
Valley to the San Bernardino Mountains. Here, Extremely Critical
highlights remain given the potential for very dangerous
wildfire-spread conditions and the potential for extreme fire
behavior.

0121 AM CST Tue Jan 14 2025
Valid 161200Z - 171200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday.
...Synopsis...
Upper ridging will overspread the central portion of the CONUS on
Thursday. Meanwhile, an upper shortwave trough will begin to dig
across the Pacific Northwest toward the end of the period while an
upper low offshore the southern CA and Baja coast becomes an open
wave and shifts east toward the lower CO River Valley. Strong
surface high pressure over the Southeast will preclude northward
transport of Gulf moisture as low-level trajectories remain oriented
offshore. A dry and stable airmass will preclude thunderstorm
potential.

Valid 151200Z - 161200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Minimal to no lightning is expected across the U.S. on Wednesday.
...Synopsis...
Strong surface high pressure from the Rockies into the southern
Plains and Southeast will maintain a dry and stable airmass across
most of the CONUS. This will preclude inland thunderstorm activity
for the most part. However, a few lightning flashes are possible
just offshore, or perhaps near the immediate coast of south Texas,
in the vicinity of weak surface low near the Lower Texas Coast.
Coverage is expected to remain less than 10 percent, negating the
need for a 10 percent general thunderstorm delineation.
