The greatest concern is on Day 6/Friday, when widespread critical conditions are expected across the southern Plains, with the potential for high-end critical to extremely critical conditions also evident. ...Days 3-5/Tuesday-Thursday - Southern High Plains... The first low-latitude midlevel shortwave trough and related strong flow aloft will overspread the southern Rockies and adjacent High Plains during this time frame. This will yield dry/windy conditions west of the dryline each afternoon, with critical conditions expected. ...Day 6/Friday - Southern Plains... A highly amplified large-scale trough and attendant 100+ kt midlevel jet streak will emerge over the southern Plains, while a surface cyclone rapidly deepens over the central Plains. In response, very strong deep-layer westerly flow will overspread a deep/dry air mass across the southern Plains, where fuels will be drying out leading up to the event. This system will favor widespread critical to extremely critical fire-weather conditions. Further northeastward extensions of the 70-percent Critical probabilities may become necessary in future outlooks as forecast confidence increases regrading RH reductions. Thereafter, a secondary low-latitude shortwave trough will likely emerge over the southern High Plains on Day 7/Saturday, leading to another day of critical conditions across the region. ..Weinman.. 03/09/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
