DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0152 PM CST FRI DEC 12 2025
VALID 131200Z - 141200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAINS LIMITED FOR TOMORROW
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. DRY/WINDY CONDITIONS REMAIN POSSIBLE DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS ACROSS EASTERN CO/NORTHEAST NM WHERE THERE IS A
40-60% PROBABILITY OF EXCEEDING ELEVATED METEOROLOGICAL THRESHOLDS.
HOWEVER, LATEST ERC ANALYSES CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THAT FUELS ARE ONLY
MARGINALLY RECEPTIVE (ERC PERCENTILES BETWEEN THE 50-65TH
PERCENTILES). GIVEN THE CURRENT FUEL STATUS AND THE MODEST
PROBABILITY FOR SUSTAINED ELEVATED CONDITIONS, FIRE WEATHER
HIGHLIGHTS REMAIN WITHHELD.

..SYNOPSIS
ON SATURDAY, AN UPPER SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO AMPLIFY IN THE
NORTHERN PLAINS/UPPER MIDWEST. THIS WILL PUSH COLDER AIR SOUTHWARD.
SOME INCREASE IN MID-LEVEL WINDS WILL OCCUR IN THE CENTRAL HIGH
PLAINS INTO PARTS OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. A MODEST SURFACE LOW WILL
DEVELOP/EVOLVE SOUTHWARD WITHIN THE HIGH PLAINS. DRY AND BREEZY
CONDITIONS ARE PROBABLE IN EASTERN COLORADO INTO NORTHEAST NEW
MEXICO. LOCALLY ELEVATED METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE
AT LEAST BRIEFLY OVER GENERALLY UNRECEPTIVE FUELS. WINDS WILL BE
WESTERLY/NORTHWESTERLY BUT SHIFT TO NORTHERLY THROUGH THE DAY AS THE
SURFACE LOW/COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTHWARD. COLDER AIR WILL LAG THE
SHIFT TO NORTHERLY WINDS.
