SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1240 AM CDT Wed May 08 2024 Valid 091200Z - 101200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... The elongated upper trough will evolve into a closed low over the Great Basin on Thursday. Farther east, the primary upper trough will move into parts of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. At the surface, a cold front will push south into the Southern Plains and cooler air will push up against the southern Rockies. Given the cooler air pushing into New Mexico, areas with the driest fuels will not likely see much in the way of fire weather concerns. Some dry and breezy conditions appear possible in parts of Arizona into western New Mexico. Here, enhanced mid-level winds and a modestly stronger surface pressure gradient will drive winds of around 15 mph with locally greater speeds. Fuels in Arizona are still in the process of drying out and winds do not appear strong enough to support more than a locally elevated threat for western New Mexico. ..Wendt.. 05/08/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1238 AM CDT Wed May 08 2024 Valid 081200Z - 091200Z ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF SOUTHERN/EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND THE TRANS-PECOS... ...Synopsis... An upper-level cyclone over the central U.S. will evolve into an elongated trough stretching from the Northeast into the Southwest today. Enhanced mid-level winds will remain over the southern Rockies, though will be weaker than previous days. Modest surface low pressure will be located within Central Texas into the Rio Grande Valley. ...New Mexico...Trans-Pecos... Despite weakening synoptic features, surface winds will reach 15-20 mph across parts of these areas. Some winds may reach 20-25 mph hour beneath the stronger mid-level flow. The most likely areas for this will be southern New Mexico into the Trans-Pecos as well as parts of northeast New Mexico. RH across the broader region will generally fall to 10-15% during the afternoon. Elevated to critical fire weather is expected for a few hours. ..Wendt.. 05/08/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

The 2024 Wheat Quality Council’s Hard Winter Wheat Tour across Kansas ended on May 16. During the three days of wheat scouting, tour participants traveled six routes from Manhattan to Colby to Wichita and back to Manhattan. “The official tour projection for total production of wheat to be harvested in Kansas is 290.4 million bushels. This number is the average of estimated predictions from tour participants who gathered information from 449 fields across the state. Based on May 1 conditions, NASS predicted the crop to be slightly lower at 267.9 million bushels, with a yield of 38 bushels per acre. “These fields are still two to four weeks from harvest. A lot can happen during that time to affect final yields and production.” The three-day average yield for the fields that were calculated was 46.5 bushels per acre. While an estimated 7.5 million acres of wheat were planted in the fall, the Kansas wheat crop varies in condition depending on the amount of moisture received. Among the stressors affecting the wheat were freeze damage, drought stress and stripe rust coming on after it was too late to spray fungicide. High Plains Midwest Ag Journal (Dodge City, Kan.), May 7, 2024 The Kansas wheat crop looked promising at the end of winter, but a dry April has dashed hopes of a good wheat crop as it suffered from lack of moisture for much of the growing season, especially during the spring green-up. A Ford County farmer stated that the last decent moisture for the wheat came on February 5, and that drought had killed some tillers since then, with the wheat deteriorating rapidly. Area fields have swathes of brown which were mostly caused by drought. A Rice County grower saw his late planted wheat finally come up in January. The wheat was just knee-high due to drought. A McPherson County wheat grower needed rain. The crop received half of an inch in April, which was 2.5 inches less than normal. The wheat showed promise earlier in the winter, but the freeze damage and drought has caused the crop to wither away. Some of the wheat is not even producing a head very well. High Plains Journal (Kan.), May 7, 2024
