SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0157 AM CDT Thu Oct 31 2024 Valid 011200Z - 021200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Quasi-zonal mid-level flow will persist over the US Friday as an upper trough moves offshore. A cold front will follow, with high pressure building over the central US. Behind the front, dry offshore flow is likely over parts of the Northeast and Mid Atlantic Coast. Downslope winds are also possible over parts of the central Rockies and High Plains. While localized gusty winds are possible, the lack of stronger synoptic winds suggests fire-weather concerns are low. ...Northeast... In the wake of the aforementioned cold front, a couple hours of dry and breezy conditions are possible across the Mid Atlantic Coast. Breezy 10-15 mph winds are possible through midday with adiabatic drying supporting somewhat lower RH within very dry fuels. However, offshore pressure gradients should gradually weaken through the afternoon, with the strongest winds quickly abating. While fuels are very dry, the overlap with gusty winds and low humidity will be brief and localized. ..Lyons.. 10/31/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more
