DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0140 PM CDT SAT NOV 01 2025
VALID 021200Z - 031200Z
THE PREVIOUS ELEVATED AREA WAS MODIFIED BASED ON THE LATEST
HIGH-RESOLUTION FORECAST GUIDANCE. WARM, DRY, AND BREEZY WINDS
REMAIN EXPECTED IN SOUTHEAST WYOMING, WESTERN NEBRASKA, AND
NORTHEAST COLORADO TOMORROW AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT AND AMID
INCREASING DOWNSLOPE FLOW. IF DOWNSLOPE FLOW ARRIVES SOONER AND
FARTHER SOUTH, THE ELEVATED AREA MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED SOUTHWARD
ALONG THE FRONT RANGE.
AN ELEVATED AREA WAS ADDED IN EAST-CENTRAL MONTANA DUE TO STRONG
WINDS (SUSTAINED NORTHWEST WINDS OF 20-35 MPH GUSTING TO 50 MPH) IN
A DRY (MIN RH OF 20-30%), COOL (TEMPERATURES OF 45-55F) POST-FRONTAL
ENVIRONMENT. COOLER TEMPERATURES AND SOME LINGERING MID/HIGH CLOUDS
WILL LIMIT BROAD COVERAGE OF ELEVATED TO CRITICAL RH, BUT GIVEN THE
STRONG WINDS AND DRY FINE DEAD FUELS, AN ELEVATED AREA WAS
INTRODUCED.

..SYNOPSIS
A MID-LEVEL TROUGH WILL IMPINGE ON THE EAST COAST AS UPPER RIDGING
OVERSPREADS THE CENTRAL U.S. TOMORROW (SUNDAY). SURFACE LEE
TROUGHING WILL ENSUE ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS WHILE
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE PREVAILS EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER TOWARD
THE ATLANTIC COASTLINE. COOL AND/OR CALM SURFACE CONDITIONS WILL
LIMIT WILDFIRE-SPREAD CONCERNS ACROSS MOST LOCALES. ONE EXCEPTION
THOUGH WILL BE PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL INTO NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS. ON
SUNDAY AFTERNOON, DRY DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL PROMOTE 20+ MPH SUSTAINED
WEST-NORTHWESTERLY SURFACE WINDS AMID 15-20 PERCENT RH FOR SEVERAL
HOURS. WHILE CRITICAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE ON AT
LEAST A BRIEF BASIS IN SOME SPOTS, THE MODEST RECEPTIVENESS OF THE
FUELS TO FIRE SPREAD SUGGESTS THAT ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS ARE ADEQUATE
TO ADDRESS ANY FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.
