Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1109 PM CST Sat Jan 13 2024 Valid 141200Z - 151200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Immediately ahead of a stalled cold front across the southern High Plains, enhanced downslope flow and a modest surface pressure gradient will contribute to locally dry/breezy conditions over far southeast NM into the TX Trans-Pecos. While 15-20 mph sustained westerly surface winds and around 15 percent RH could favor locally elevated fire-weather conditions, the overlap of dry/breezy conditions appears too localized/marginal for Elevated highlights at this time. ..Weinman.. 01/14/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

MD 0061 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR NORTHWESTERN OREGON AND FAR SOUTHEASTERN WASHINGTON
Mesoscale Discussion 0061 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0205 PM CST Sat Jan 13 2024 Areas affected...Northwestern Oregon and far southeastern Washington Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 132005Z - 140000Z SUMMARY...Periods of heavy snow with snowfall rates between 1-2 in/hour will continue into the mid/late afternoon hours. Freezing rain remains probable through the Willamette Valley. DISCUSSION...Bands of moderate to heavy precipitation continue to overspread the Pacific Northwest ahead of an approaching mid-level wave. So far, much of this activity has been driven by warm advection in the 850-700 mb layer, but some uptick in precip coverage and intensity appears likely as lift associated with the vorticity maximum and attendant mid-level jet overspreads the region. The 18z SLE sounding sampled a deep saturated layer from the surface to around 450 mb with a somewhat shallow (~100 mb deep) 1-2 C warm nose centered at about 850 mb/3 kft. More recent KRTX CC imagery indicates that this warm nose remains in place. Locations above roughly 3 kft should continue to see moderate to heavy snowfall through the mid/late afternoon with snowfall rates between 1-2 in/hour possible. The shallow sub-freezing layer below ~3 kft will support a continuation of freezing rain for some locations - primarily through the Willamette Valley. However, localized fluctuations in the shallow warm layer may promote variation in precipitation types between freezing rain, snow, and sleet. ..Moore.. 01/13/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0152 PM CST Sat Jan 13 2024 Valid 151200Z - 211200Z A cold, arctic airmass has spread across most of the CONUS which has mitigated fire weather concerns for most. The only exception will be across Far West Texas where relatively warm conditions will persist in a region which has been dry for a few weeks. The most likely days for some dry and breezy conditions across Far West Texas will be Wednesday and Thursday when lee troughing is expected to occur over the central High Plains. Beyond Thursday, reinforcing arctic high pressure is expected to build into the Plains again and weaken winds across the region. Despite the expectation for some dry and breezy conditions, fuels are not that favorable and relative humidity is not expected to be overly dry. Therefore, no critical fire weather probabilities are warranted at this time. ..Bentley.. 01/13/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more
