Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1150 PM CST Wed Nov 20 2024

Valid 211200Z - 221200Z

...Synopsis...
With a strong upper low over the lower Great Lakes region, strong
flow aloft will overspread portions of the Southeast into Florida. A
deepening low east of the DelMarVa will promote enhanced surface
wind behind the cold front. With minimal precipitation falling over
North Florida, where fuels are quite dry for this time of year, a
period of elevated fire weather is expected. Winds of 10-15 mph and
RH perhaps near 20% in some spots can be expected by the afternoon.
The boundary layer should also deepen sufficiently to support gusts
of up to 20 mph.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1151 PM CST Wed Nov 20 2024

Valid 221200Z - 231200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
A similar upper-level pattern to Thursday will again be present on
Friday. The strong upper low will continue east and a complex
surface low evolution will occur off the Mid-Atlantic/New England
coast. Fire weather conditions are expected to be minimal for most
areas. Northern into central Florida will again be dry. Temperature
will be a bit cooler and RH will be a bit higher. Boundary layer
mixing will also be less than Thursday, tempering gust potential.
With the strongest winds/lowest RH expected over less receptive
fuels, highlights will be withheld. Locally elevated conditions can
be expected.
