DAY 1 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1017 AM CDT SUN OCT 26 2025
VALID 261700Z - 271200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS REMAIN UNLIKELY FOR TODAY. MORNING
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS CONTINUE TO SHOW SOMEWHAT DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS
NORTHERN GA INTO THE WESTERN CAROLINAS WITH LATE-MORNING RH VALUES
IN THE 40-50% RANGE. REDUCTIONS TO NEAR 30% APPEAR PROBABLE WITH
SOME LOCATIONS EXPERIENCING SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE LOW TO MID TEENS.
WHILE LOCALIZED ELEVATED CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE, CONFIDENCE REMAINS
TOO LIMITED IN A MORE BROAD FIRE WEATHER CONCERN FOR HIGHLIGHTS.
ELSEWHERE, ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL TO NORTH-CENTRAL MT WHERE SUSTAINED WINDS
BETWEEN 15-25 MPH ARE LIKELY WITH RH REDUCTIONS INTO THE 20-30%
RANGE. FUELS ACROSS THIS REGION REMAIN ONLY MODESTLY DRY WITH ERCS
IN THE 50-60TH PERCENTILE RANGE, WHICH SHOULD MITIGATE MORE ROBUST
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.

..SYNOPSIS
THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH WITHIN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL MOVE INTO THE
MID-SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST TODAY. PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
FEATURE WILL SPREAD EASTWARD AS WELL. WITH THE CONTINUED PRESENCE OF
THE SURFACE HIGH TO THE NORTHEAST, DRIER EASTERLY WINDS WILL REMAIN
PROBABLE ACROSS PARTS OF THE PIEDMONT INTO NORTHERN GEORGIA. WINDS
OF 10-15 MPH WITH MARGINALLY LOWERED RH VALUES COULD LEAD TO LOCALLY
ELEVATED CONDITIONS. GIVEN THE INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR
MID/HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS, SUSTAINED ELEVATED CONDITIONS DO NOT APPEAR
LIKELY.
