NO CRITICAL AREAS

The previous forecast remains on track as described. A lack of strong wind where fuels are available to burn, in particular over the southern CONUS, will preclude any significant fire weather threat on Day 2/Wednesday.

Synopsis

Reduced fire weather concerns are expected across the CONUS on Day 2/Wednesday. Low-amplitude upper troughing will continue across the northern CONUS while upper ridging begins to weaken over the Southeast. High temperatures in the 80s and minimum RH values of 25-30% will overlap drought-stressed fuels in the lower MS River Valley. However, lighter prevailing winds should limit a fire weather threat over this region.
