NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1236 AM CDT WED MAY 27 2026
VALID 281200Z - 291200Z
..SYNOPSIS
A SIMILAR SYNOPTIC SETUP AS D1/WEDNESDAY WILL CARRY OVER INTO
D2/THURSDAY AS A NEARLY STATIONARY UPPER LOW REMAINS OVER CA/GREAT
BASIN, AND UPPER RIDGING PERSISTS ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS. THE MAIN
TROUGH AXIS WILL GRADUALLY LIFT INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS WHILE
MOISTURE ADVECTION OCCURS DOWNSTREAM OF THE UPPER LOW, ENCOURAGING
CONTINUED CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION IN THE HIGH PLAINS. BENEATH
UPPER TROUGHING, A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PROGRESS SOUTHWARD
ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC BRINGING BELOW-NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR SPOTTY PRECIPITATION TO THE EASTERN
SEABOARD.
..GREAT BASIN AND SOUTHWEST
PROLONGED SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL MAINTAIN FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR
PARTS OF THE GREAT BASIN, UPPER CO RIVER BASIN, AND PORTIONS OF THE
SOUTHWEST THROUGH DAY 2/THURSDAY. SOUTHERLY SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15-25
MPH AND RH VALUES AROUND 15% COMBINED WITH DRIER LOWER ELEVATION
FUELS ARE EXPECTED TO PROMOTE ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
DURING THE AFTERNOON.
..NORTHEASTERN MONTANA
AHEAD OF A PERSISTENT SURFACE TROUGH, DRY SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW OVER
THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS WILL SUPPORT ANOTHER DAY OF ENHANCED FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS ACROSS NORTHEASTERN MT ON DAY 2/THURSDAY. ELEVATED
HIGHLIGHTS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED TO NORTHEASTERN MT WHERE RECEPTIVE
FUELS ARE STILL PRESENT WITHIN POCKETS OF GREEN UP.
