DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0139 AM CST FRI FEB 06 2026
VALID 071200Z - 081200Z
..SYNOPSIS
PREDOMINANTLY UPPER RIDGING WILL PREVAIL OVER THE CENTRAL U.S.
TOMORROW (SATURDAY). HOWEVER, AN EMBEDDED MID-LEVEL IMPULSE WILL
TRAVERSE THE RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND OVERSPREAD THE
CENTRAL PLAINS BY AFTERNOON. SURFACE LEE TROUGHING WILL ENCOURAGE
DRY DOWNSLOPE FLOW OVER PORTIONS OF THE COLORADO/WYOMING BORDER INTO
WESTERN NEBRASKA, AND NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO INTO THE NORTHERN TEXAS
PANHANDLE BY AFTERNOON PEAK HEATING. OVER BOTH OF THESE AREAS, 15+
MPH SUSTAINED WESTERLY SURFACE WINDS SHOULD OVERLAP WITH 25 PERCENT
RH FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS. GIVEN THE LACK OF RECENT PRECIPITATION
OVER THESE AREAS, FUELS SHOULD BE DRY ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SOME
WILDFIRE-SPREAD POTENTIAL, WARRANTING THE INTRODUCTION OF ELEVATED
HIGHLIGHTS.
