FNUS28 KWNS 092102 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0301 PM CST Sat Dec 09 2023 Valid 111200Z - 171200Z Fire weather concerns will be limited through the extended period. Long-range ensemble guidance continues to show reasonably good agreement in the development of persistent surface high pressure over much of the country during the upcoming work week. A cooler continental air mass overspreading the country in the wake of this weekend's cold front across the eastern CONUS, combined with weak pressure gradient winds, should limit fire weather potential. Localized concerns may materialize across southern CA into the lower CO River Valley where the probability for wetting precipitation will remain low through next weekend. The passage of a weak mid-level disturbance around D5/Wed into D6/Thur may support offshore flow along the southern CA coast with an attendant risk of dry/breezy conditions (though confidence in a robust fire weather threat remains limited at this range). ..Moore.. 12/09/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
