DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0214 AM CDT MON APR 06 2026
VALID 071200Z - 081200Z
..SYNOPSIS
UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING OVER THE WEST WILL CONTINUE TO DAMPEN ON DAY
2/TUESDAY AS AN INCOMING TROUGH OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST MOVES
EASTWARD ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER AND A SECOND MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
TROUGH EJECTS EASTWARD OVER THE SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS. THIS WILL
FAVOR LARGELY ZONAL FLOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN
ROCKIES. AT THE SURFACE, A COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT OFFSHORE OF SOUTH
FLORIDA, WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE ACROSS THE MIDWEST. A SURFACE
LOW WILL SIMULTANEOUSLY SHIFT EASTWARD ALONG THE CANADA/MONTANA
BORDER.
..PORTIONS OF EASTERN GEORGIA INTO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE
SUSTAINED NORTHEASTERLY WINDS OF 10-15 MPH ALONG THE SOUTHERN
PERIPHERY OF A SURFACE HIGH POSITIONED ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION
ARE FORECAST TO OVERLAP REDUCED RH VALUES OF 25-35% (LOCALLY LOWER)
DURING PEAK MIXING TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WITH RECEPTIVE FUELS IN PLACE
ACROSS A REGION CHARACTERIZED BY ONGOING EXTREME/EXCEPTIONAL DROUGHT
AND LITTLE TO NO PRECIPITATION ACCUMULATION OVER THE PAST 24-48
HOURS, THIS IS EXPECTED TO PROMOTE A FEW HOURS OF ELEVATED TO
LOCALLY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FROM EASTERN GEORGIA
SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PANHANDLE, INCLUDING THE
APALACHICOLA NATIONAL FOREST. ADDITIONAL LIGHT RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE
TONIGHT/TOMORROW ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA
INTO THE EASTERN PANHANDLE (IN THE VICINITY OF THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS
OF THE DRAWN AREA), AND THIS WILL BE MONITORED FOR FUTURE OUTLOOK
ISSUANCES.
..PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS
THE AFOREMENTIONED ZONAL FLOW ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
CENTRAL/NORTHERN ROCKIES IS EXPECTED TO PROMOTE DRY, DOWNSLOPE FLOW
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS. LATEST GUIDANCE
INDICATES THAT SUSTAINED WESTERLY WINDS OF 15-20 MPH MAY BRIEFLY
OVERLAP REDUCED RH OF 15-20% TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF
EASTERN WYOMING. WHILE THIS MAY PROMOTE LOCALLY ELEVATED FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS ACROSS THE REGION, ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS HAVE BEEN
WITHHELD AT THIS TIME GIVEN THE EXPECTED TEMPORARY OVERLAP OF
ELEVATED WINDS/RH. TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED.
