Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0444 PM CDT Wed May 08 2024

Valid 101200Z - 161200Z

Building surface high pressure will overspread the central/southern
Plains through much of the extended, keeping winds light and
limiting fire weather concerns where fuels are the driest. 

Continued upper-level troughing over the western US and weak lee
troughing across the High Plains and will maintain areas of
dry/breezy conditions across eastern AZ/southwest NM. This may
support localized areas of Elevated fire weather concerns D3/Friday
and D4/Saturday. Rain chances are forecast to increase D3/Friday
across the Four Corners/southern High Plains, which should aid in
limiting fire potential in those regions.

As the western trough ejects into the Southern Plains D4/Saturday
into D5/Sunday, Critical conditions may return to far western
Texas/southern New Mexico. Potential for precipitation across this
region lowers confidence in including any areas with this outlook.
