SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0137 AM CDT Fri Mar 22 2024 Valid 231200Z - 241200Z ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will amplify while rapidly traversing the Southwest tomorrow/Saturday, resulting in intense surface low development over the central High Plains. While strong low-level southerly flow will be predominantly moist across the Plains states, favorable trajectories will support dry surface air emanating from the Chihuahuan desert. By afternoon peak heating, 15 mph sustained southerly winds and 15 percent RH should overlap with modestly dry fuels for at least a few hours tomorrow afternoon, where Elevated highlights have been added. ..Squitieri.. 03/22/2024 ...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 0132 AM CDT Fri Mar 22 2024 Valid 221200Z - 231200Z ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will traverse the eastern third of the CONUS today, supporting widespread low-level moisture transport east of the Mississippi River, where appreciable rainfall accumulations are possible in spots. Farther west, deep-layer northwesterly flow behind the aforementioned mid-level trough will encourage downslope flow across portions of far southern New Mexico into the Trans Pecos region of Texas. Here, 15 mph sustained northwesterly surface winds amid 15 percent RH and modestly receptive fuels will support some potential for wildfire spread during the afternoon, warranting the maintenance of Elevated highlights. ..Squitieri.. 03/22/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

MD 0278 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR PORTIONS OF EAST-CENTRAL MINNESOTA INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN
Mesoscale Discussion 0278 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1046 PM CDT Thu Mar 21 2024 Areas affected...portions of east-central Minnesota into central Wisconsin Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 220346Z - 220645Z SUMMARY...A few instances of 1+ inch/hr snowfall rates are possible over the next few hours. DISCUSSION...A 500 mb jet streak is overspreading the Upper MS Valley, supporting strong low-level warm-air advection within a sub-freezing troposphere. As a result, 700 mb frontogenesis is increasing along the MN/WI border, boosting deep-layer ascent within a deepening dendritic growth zone. Multiple surface observations have recently shown heavy snow ongoing across Sherburne to Chisago Counties in Minnesota. Additional instances of heavy snow are likely along the 700 mb frontogenesis axis over the next few hours, with 1+ inch/hr snowfall rates and instances of reduced visibility possible. ..Squitieri.. 03/22/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
