DAY 1 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0125 AM CDT SUN JUN 22 2025
VALID 221200Z - 231200Z
..SYNOPSIS
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST WHERE VERY DRY/WINDY CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN
PREVALENT OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS.
..FOUR CORNERS/CENTRAL ROCKIES
EARLY-MORNING SURFACE OBSERVATIONS REVEAL A COLD FRONT DRAPED FROM
SOUTHERN WY SOUTHWESTWARD TO THE CA COAST. THIS FRONT IS FORECAST TO
STALL AS THE ATTENDANT UPPER LOW OVER THE WESTERN CONUS BEGINS TO
DE-AMPLIFY AND MULTIPLE EMBEDDED PERTURBATIONS LIFT INTO THE
NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS PATTERN WILL MAINTAIN MODERATE SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS AND CENTRAL ROCKIES WHERE ANOTHER
AFTERNOON OF RH MINIMUMS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO LOW TEENS IS
EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE FRONT. ALTHOUGH SUSTAINED WINDS WILL BE
SOMEWHAT WEAKER COMPARED TO PREVIOUS DAYS, 15-20 MPH WINDS ARE
EXPECTED AND WILL SUPPORT WIDESPREAD ELEVATED TO LOCALLY CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. GUSTS UPWARDS OF 25-35 MPH ARE EXPECTED,
ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN UT INTO NORTHWEST CO AND SOUTHERN WY UNDER
A BELT OF STRONGER MID-LEVEL FLOW.
..CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS
DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS EASTERN CO INTO
ADJACENT PORTIONS OF NE AND KS BEHIND A SHARPENING DRYLINE THIS
AFTERNOON. SUSTAINED WINDS BETWEEN 20-25 MPH ARE EXPECTED BY LATE
AFTERNOON AS RH VALUES FALL INTO THE TEENS. DESPITE REASONABLY HIGH
CONFIDENCE IN THE EMERGENCE OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS,
GREEN GRASSES SHOULD MODULATE A MORE SUBSTANTIAL FIRE WEATHER
THREAT.
