DAY 1 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK

1144 AM CDT FRI SEP 12 2025
VALID 121700Z - 131200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
A MID-LEVEL TROUGH WITH ASSOCIATED LIFT AND INSTABILITY WILL
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PRIMARILY THE
MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN OF THE INTERIOR WEST TODAY. A FEW LIGHTNING FIRE
STARTS ARE STILL POSSIBLE, BUT FUEL RECEPTIVENESS REMAINS LESS THAN
IDEAL FOR WIDESPREAD IGNITIONS ACROSS THE REGION DUE TO ANTECEDENT
AND EXPECTED RAINFALL.

..SYNOPSIS
A MID-LEVEL TROUGH WILL OVERSPREAD THE INTERIOR WEST AS UPPER
RIDGING PERSISTS OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. TODAY. THE BROAD UPPER
TROUGHING WEST OF THE ROCKIES WILL ENCOURAGE THE WIDESPREAD LIFTING
OF A BUOYANT AIRMASS, SUPPORTING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS
FROM THE GREAT BASIN TO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND POINTS EAST. MOST
OF THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ON THE WET SIDE, AND GIVEN
MULTIPLE PAST DAYS OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS, FUELS ARE
NOT EXPECTED TO BE QUITE AS DRY AS IN PREVIOUS DAYS/WEEKS. WHILE A
COUPLE OF LIGHTNING-INDUCED FIRE IGNITIONS ARE POSSIBLE, THE OVERALL
THREAT SEEMS TOO SPARSE TO WARRANT ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORM
HIGHLIGHTS THIS OUTLOOK.
