DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0201 AM CDT SAT JUN 21 2025
VALID 221200Z - 231200Z
..SYNOPSIS
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEKEND, AND MAY EMERGE
WITHIN PARTS OF THE HIGH PLAINS.
..INTERMOUNTAIN WEST
THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH CURRENTLY AMPLIFYING OVER THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST IS FORECAST TO PIVOT INTO THE FOUR CORNERS/CENTRAL ROCKIES
THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY. AS THIS OCCURS, A BELT OF MODERATE MID-LEVEL
FLOW WILL OVERSPREAD A REGION WITH ACTIVE ONGOING FIRES. LIMITED
PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE NEXT 48 HOURS WILL MAINTAIN VERY DRY
FUELS, BUT THE PASSAGE OF COLD FRONT TODAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY WILL
HELP MODULATE DIURNAL RH REDUCTIONS TO SOME DEGREE FOR SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH AREAS OF SUB-15% RH ARE EXPECTED, SLIGHTLY
IMPROVED RH COUPLED WITH WEAKER LOW-LEVEL WINDS SHOULD RESULT IN AN
OVERALL REDUCED FIRE WEATHER CONCERN COMPARED TO PREVIOUS DAYS.
NONETHELESS, AREAS OF ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE PROBABLE,
AND ISOLATED POCKETS OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE.
..CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS
LATEST GUIDANCE SHOWS THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR SUSTAINED 20+ MPH
WINDS AND 15-20% RH ACROSS EASTERN CO INTO ADJACENT PORTIONS OF FAR
SOUTHWEST NE AND NORTHWEST KS BEHIND A SHARPENING DRYLINE. DESPITE
FAIRLY HIGH CONFIDENCE IN CRITICAL CONDITIONS, GREEN UP OF GRASSES
ACROSS THE REGION SHOULD LARGELY MITIGATE A MORE ROBUST FIRE WEATHER
THREAT. HOWEVER, PRECEDING DAYS OF HOT/DRY/WINDY CONDITIONS SHOULD
YIELD AT LEAST POCKETS OF DRY FUELS THAT MAY SUPPORT A LOW-END FIRE
WEATHER CONCERN.
