DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1242 AM CDT WED JUN 03 2026
VALID 041200Z - 051200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
..SYNOPSIS
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING DEEP UPPER LOW CURRENTLY OFFSHORE THE
BRITISH COLUMBIA COAST, ZONAL FLOW WILL OVERSPREAD THE NORTHWEST
THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST. MULTIPLE EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE TROUGHS
WITHIN THE DOWNSTREAM FLOW WILL ENCOURAGE ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION
ACROSS PORTIONS OF MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN, BRINGING SOME RELIEF TO
A RECENTLY RECEPTIVE FUELSCAPE. UPPER RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO
FLATTEN OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION, STEERING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
ATOP THE SOUTHEAST AND INITIATING A GRADUAL WARMING TREND INTO THE
WEEKEND.
A DRY AIRMASS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN INTO NORTHERN
ARIZONA WITH RH VALUES DECLINING TO LESS THAN 15%. WEAKER DEEP LAYER
FLOW SHOULD LIMIT WIDESPREAD ELEVATED SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS,
PRECLUDING ANY HIGHLIGHTS. HOWEVER, LOCALIZED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS
MAY EMERGE IN TERRAIN-FAVORED AREAS WHERE GUSTY WINDS AND CRITICALLY
LOW RH COALESCE ATOP DRYING FUELS. WHILE A BROADER ELEVATED WAS NOT
INTRODUCED, THESE CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY SERVE AS MORE OF A CURING
EVENT, LEADING TO INCREASED FIRE CONCERNS THIS WEEKEND AS AN UPPER
TROUGH TRAVERSES THE NORTHWEST.
