DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0143 AM CDT SUN OCT 11 2026
VALID 121200Z - 131200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
..SYNOPSIS
A CLOSED MID-LEVEL LOW WILL MIGRATE SLOWLY SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE
WESTERN GREAT BASIN ON DAY 2/MONDAY, WITH STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT EXTENDING FROM THE SOUTHWEST INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND
NORTHERN/CENTRAL GREAT PLAINS. COMBINED WITH A REMNANT SUBTROPICAL
MOISTURE PLUME, THIS WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR WIDESPREAD CHANCES FOR
RAINFALL AND HIGHER ELEVATION SNOWFALL ACROSS MUCH OF THE WESTERN
U.S., WHICH WILL LARGELY SUPPRESS FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ACROSS THIS
REGION ON MONDAY.
FARTHER EAST, HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST, WITH A COLD FRONT AND ATTENDANT SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
MOVING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL GREAT PLAINS. WHILE A TIGHTENED
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT, GUSTY WINDS, AND RELATIVELY DRY
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS
BETWEEN THESE SURFACE FEATURES MONDAY AFTERNOON, POOR OVERLAP
BETWEEN ELEVATED WIND/RH CONDITIONS AND AREAS OF RECEPTIVE FUELS
PRECLUDES A BROADER FIRE WEATHER THREAT AT THIS TIME. SIMILARLY,
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY AND MIDWEST, BUT
LIMITED SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS (GENERALLY LESS THAN 10-15 MPH) ARE
EXPECTED TO LARGELY TEMPER FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.
