DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1157 PM CST TUE DEC 16 2025
VALID 181200Z - 191200Z
..SYNOPSIS
WITHIN A POST-COLD-FRONT REGIME, STRONG NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL
OVERSPREAD PARTS OF THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS ON THURSDAY. COLDER
AIR WILL FILTER SOUTHWARD, BUT THIS SHOULD BE LAGGING BEHIND THE
FRONT.
..CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS
DESPITE COLD AIR ADVECTION THROUGH THE DAY, GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES
AND DRY AIR WILL PROMOTE RH REDUCTIONS IN THE 20-30% RANGE. FARTHER
WEST, INTO THE HIGH PLAINS, 15-20% RH WILL BE POSSIBLE. GUIDANCE
DOES SHOW A FAIR AMOUNT OF VARIABILITY WITH REGARD TO SURFACE
TEMPERATURES DURING THE AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY WITH NORTHERN EXTENT.
HOWEVER, SUSTAINED WINDS/GUSTS WILL TEND TO BE STRONGEST IN THE
CENTRAL PLAINS WITH WEAKER WINDS WITH SOUTHWARD EXTENT. WITH FINE
FUELS SHOWING SUFFICIENT DRYNESS IN SOME AREAS AND THE WINDS BEING
NEAR OR JUST ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS, ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CAN BE
EXPECTED FROM KANSAS INTO NORTH TEXAS. THESE CONDITIONS MAY EXTEND
FARTHER SOUTH AND WEST, BUT COMBINATIONS OF QUESTIONABLE FUELS AND
DURATION LIMIT CONFIDENCE IN EXPANDING HIGHLIGHTS INTO THESE AREAS.
