No changes were made to the Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook. Over the
last 24 hours, a swath of accumulating precipitation extends from
the Desert Southwest into the north-central CONUS. Additionally,
recent rainfall ranging from 0.1-0.9" has tempered fuel concerns
across the lower MS River Valley into central TN. While dry fuels
still exist in parts of the Appalachian Mountains, a minimal overlap
of low RH/strong winds abates a fire weather threat this afternoon.

An amplified upper trough will translate over the Upper Midwest on
Day 3/Wednesday, continuing to advect abundant Gulf moisture into
the eastern CONUS. An attendant surface low will transition into
southern Ontario, sending a cold front across the eastern states
through Day 4/Thursday. Along the front, widespread rainfall is
expected to bring some relief to drying fuels in the Appalachian
Mountains. A shortwave trough will trail the main trough, bringing
additional precipitation chances to the southern Plains and parts of
the Gulf Coast on Days 4-5/Thursday-Friday. In the wake of this
system, much of the Interior West to south/central U.S. will be
under northwest-westerly flow aloft, maintaining near-average
temperatures and mostly dry conditions. Extended guidance shows
potential for another upper trough to dive into the Great Plains
next weekend, sending another cold front through the central U.S.
Nevertheless, fire weather concerns will be reduced across almost
all CONUS locations through the forecast period given recent
rainfall and subdued fuels.
