SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0157 AM CST Tue Jan 21 2025 Valid 221200Z - 231200Z ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA... ...Synopsis... A surface pressure gradient will persist across southern California, with some strengthening of the gradient likely by late Wednesday afternoon as another in a series of mid-level troughs overspread the Great Basin tomorrow (Wednesday). Another day of offshore flow capable of supporting rapid wildfire spread is expected. By afternoon peak heating, widespread sustained 20-30 mph wind speeds are likely, along with RH dropping to at least the 10-15 percent range. Locally higher wind speeds/gusts are also likely in terrain-favoring areas. Anywhere from the Ventura Valley region to the Laguna Mountains may experience the aforementioned meteorological surface conditions, necessitating the introduction of Critical fire weather highlights this outlook. ..Squitieri.. 01/21/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

A mid-level trough across the southwest U.S. will rapidly track eastward toward the Southeast while surface high pressure persists over the Great Basin through the period. Strong offshore flow will persist from the Ventura Valley to the Laguna Mountains, with widespread 20-30 mph sustained winds and 10 percent RH expected during the day into early Wednesday morning, warranting the maintenance of Critical highlights across much of the far southern California shoreline. Furthermore, the latest high-resolution guidance consensus shows sustained winds exceeding 40 mph, coinciding with single-digit RH, from the Ventura Valley to the San Bernardino Mountains, as well as the San Jacinto to Laguna Mountain ranges, where Extremely Critical highlights were maintained. The best chance for Extremely Critical conditions will be during the morning into early afternoon hours. ..Squitieri.. 01/21/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0117 AM CST Tue Jan 21 2025 Valid 231200Z - 241200Z ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are not forecast on Thursday. ...Synopsis... A cool and stable pattern will persist on Thursday across the CONUS with an expansive upper trough over much of the central states and into the Great Lakes. This trough may amplify as it becomes more progressive and moves into the MS Valley by 12Z Friday. A strongly cyclonic speed max will exist along the northern Gulf Coast, with cooling aloft to the north. At the surface, another installment of high pressure will push into the Gulf of Mexico, with further drying. Any appreciable low-level moisture will remain east of the FL Peninsula, and as such, thunderstorms are not forecast. ..Jewell.. 01/21/2025 Read more
