ZCZC SPCFWDDY1 ALL FNUS21 KWNS 150755 Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0155 AM CST Sun Dec 15 2024 Valid 151200Z - 161200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Embedded within stronger quasi-zonal flow aloft, a shortwave trough is forecast to rapidly eject eastward from the Intermoutnain West across the central and northern Rockies early this morning. As lift from the trough shifts east, a lee low and trailing surface trough will quickly deepen across parts of the High Plains, while a cold front will approach from the interior West. The strong mid-level flow and lee low will support downslope winds across portions of the central High Plains, and to a lesser degree across eastern NM and far West TX. These strong winds of 20-30 mph may briefly overlap with areas of moderately low RH this afternoon. While there is some risk, fire-weather concerns are not expected to be widespread, given the brief nature of the strong winds and lower RH, as well as the passage of the cold front later this afternoon and into the evening. ..Lyons.. 12/15/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
