DAY 1 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1126 PM CST FRI DEC 26 2025
VALID 271200Z - 281200Z
..SYNOPSIS
AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT
EAST THROUGHOUT THE DAY, WHILE AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH ENTERS THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES AND IMPINGES ON WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE.
THIS PROCESS WILL PROMOTE A TIGHTENING OF THE HEIGHT GRADIENT ALOFT
AND ENHANCEMENT OF THE FLOW, FROM THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS INTO THE
CENTRAL GREAT PLAINS. AT THE SURFACE, A COMBINATION OF LEE
CYCLOGENESIS AND DIURNALLY DRIVEN MIXING WEST OF A DEVELOPING DRY
LINE SHOULD ALLOW FOR A FEW HOURS OF ELEVATED FIRE-WEATHER
CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15-20 MPH AND RH VALUES
INTO THE LOW TO MID 20S WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
TX/OK PANHANDLES AND VICINITY WHERE PROLONGED ARID CONDITIONS HAVE
LED TO DRY/RECEPTIVE FUELS.
