SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1130 PM CST Fri Jan 19 2024 Valid 211200Z - 221200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... On Sunday, the central US ridge will shift eastward as weak disturbances move inland across the western US. Some increase of southerly flow is expected across the Plains. Cool and moist conditions, along with fresh snow pack across much of the central/northern Plains, should keep fire weather concerns low. ..Thornton.. 01/20/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1104 PM CST Fri Jan 19 2024 Valid 201200Z - 211200Z ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are not expected across the CONUS today. ...Western US... Large-scale upper trough will shift inland across the western US today as midlevel flow begins to increase at lower latitudes across the eastern Pacific into northern Mexico. While southward-evolving jet should result in weak buoyancy across portions of CA into the Great Basin, any convection that develops in association with this trough should remain too weak/shallow to warrant any meaningful risk of lightning. ..Darrow/Thornton.. 01/20/2024 Read more

SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0636 PM CST Fri Jan 19 2024 Valid 200100Z - 201200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected, but a few flashes of lightning remain possible across parts of the central California Coast. ...01z Update... Pre frontal warm conveyor is advancing east toward the central CA Coast early this evening. Latest radar data suggests weak elevated convection is embedded within the warm-advection zone, but updrafts are currently too shallow to generate lightning. Greatest risk for isolated thunderstorms will be with this convection as it advances inland ahead of the progressive upper trough. Even so, lightning should remain quite sparse given the weak buoyancy. ..Darrow.. 01/20/2024 Read more

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0359 PM CST Fri Jan 19 2024 Valid 211200Z - 271200Z The extended period will begin with a continental polar airmass across much of the eastern CONUS with cold temperatures and extensive areas of snowcover. By the middle of next week, a warmer airmass will develop across the southern Plains and Southeast, but this will also bring significant precipitation to much of the region which will mitigate fire weather concerns. A storm system will bring precipitation to southern California and the Southwest which will bring wetting rain to most fuels in the region. In addition, moisture is expected to remain across the region through the remainder of the week. Therefore, given this pattern, minimal fire weather concerns are anticipated due to the lack of dry fuels or a dry low-level airmass across the CONUS during the extended forecast period. ..Bentley.. 01/19/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
