DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1137 PM CST TUE NOV 04 2025
VALID 061200Z - 071200Z
..SYNOPSIS
FOR THURSDAY, A LOW-AMPLITUDE UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE
CENTRAL U.S. ANOTHER SURFACE LOW WILL DEVELOP IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS
AND BRING A COLD FRONT SOUTH AND EAST. MODERATE TO STRONG MID-LEVEL
WINDS WILL EXIST ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES ALONG WITH A RELATIVELY
STRONG CROSS-DIVIDE PRESSURE GRADIENT.
..SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS
A DEEPER LEE TROUGH THAN ON WEDNESDAY AND SOME MID-LEVEL FLOW
ENHANCEMENT ALONG THE SOUTHERN FLANK OF A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL
PROMOTE AREAS OF 15-20 MPH WINDS FROM EASTERN NEW MEXICO INTO THE
TEXAS PANHANDLE/SOUTH PLAINS. RH COULD FALL BELOW 15% IN SOME AREAS,
BUT 15-20% WILL OCCUR MORE BROADLY. LOCALLY CRITICAL METEOROLOGICAL
CONDITIONS ALSO APPEAR POSSIBLE; HOWEVER, FUELS ARE NOT SUFFICIENTLY
DRY TO SUPPORT MORE THAN AN ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER THREAT.
..CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS
STRONGER MID-LEVEL WINDS WILL FLOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES THAN
FARTHER SOUTH. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL LIKELY BE EAST OF THE
LARAMIE RANGE INTO PARTS OF THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. IN EASTERN
COLORADO, RH WILL BE LOWER, BUT WINDS WILL BE MORE MODEST OUTSIDE OF
THE TYPICALLY STRONGER GAP WINDS. ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER IS MOST
PROBABLE WHERE IT WILL BE WARMER ALONG THE FRONT RANGE. FARTHER
NORTH, A COOLER AIRMASS HAS RECENTLY MOVED INTO THE AREA AND IT IS
UNCLEAR IF THE AIRMASS WILL MODIFY ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SUFFICIENTLY
LOW RH.
..MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
AS ANOTHER SURFACE HIGH MOVES INTO THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY, DRY,
SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW WILL AGAIN OCCUR WITHIN THE REGION.
MID/UPPER-LEVEL CLOUDS WILL AGAIN COMPLICATE THE TEMPERATURE
FORECAST AND THUS RH. HOWEVER, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT 25-30% COULD
OCCUR AT LEAST LOCALLY. DRY FUELS WOULD SUPPORT ELEVATED FIRE
WEATHER, BUT UNCERTAINTY IN THE OCCURRENCE/DURATION OF THESE
CONDITIONS REMAINS HIGH.
