DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0201 AM CDT SUN AUG 17 2025
VALID 181200Z - 191200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
..SYNOPSIS
MID-LEVEL RIDGING WILL RAPIDLY BUILD OVER THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN US
MONDAY AS NORTHWEST TROUGHING CONTINUES. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES
ARE EXPECTED ALONG WITH A TEMPORARY DECREASE IN MONSOON MOISTURE
OVER MUCH OF THE WEST. WHILE THE RIDGE EXPANDS, THE MAJORITY OF THE
STRONGER WESTERLY FLOW WILL BE SHUNTED NORTHWARD, POORLY OVERLAPPING
WITH THE EXPECTED DRY CONDITIONS. WITH WEAKER FLOW ALOFT, SURFACE
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE RELATIVELY BENIGN, LIMITING FIRE-WEATHER
POTENTIAL. STILL, VERY HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED, WHICH
COULD EXACERBATE ONGOING FIRES LOCALLY. ADDITIONALLY, A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN POSSIBLE OVER PARTS OF EASTERN ID AND WESTERN
MT NEAR THE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE. WHILE SOME DRY LIGHTNING STRIKES
ARE POSSIBLE IN RECEPTIVE FUELS, WETTING RAINFALL AND THE MORE
LIMITED STORM COVERAGE APPEAR UNLIKELY TO WARRANT 10% ISODRYT
COVERAGE.
