DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0214 AM CDT FRI APR 03 2026
VALID 041200Z - 051200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
..SYNOPSIS
A POTENT MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW
WILL TRANSITION NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION ON
D2/SATURDAY WHILE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS ACROSS THE WEST. A
TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO RIVER VALLEYS AND SOUTHWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN
TEXAS, WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE GREAT PLAINS BEHIND THIS
FRONT. COOLER TEMPERATURES AND IMPROVING MINIMUM RH VALUES ARE
EXPECTED TO PRECLUDE WIDESPREAD FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS AT THIS TIME.
..PORTIONS OF THE TEXAS ROLLING PLAINS INTO SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO
LATEST HIGH-RES GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT SUSTAINED NORTHEASTERLY TO
EASTERLY SURFACE WINDS AROUND 15 MPH ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF
THE AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE HIGH MAY BRIEFLY OVERLAP REDUCED RH
VALUES OF 15-20% SATURDAY AFTERNOON TO PROMOTE LOCALLY ELEVATED FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS FROM THE TEXAS ROLLING PLAINS INTO SOUTHERN NEW
MEXICO. ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS HAVE BEEN WITHHELD AT THIS TIME DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE DURATION OF OVERLAP BETWEEN SUSTAINED
SURFACE WINDS OF 15+ MPH AND RH VALUES BELOW 20% AS WELL AS THE
POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT PRECIPITATION ON D1/FRIDAY ACROSS TEXAS. TRENDS
WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED FOR FUTURE OUTLOOKS.
