DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1248 AM CDT THU SEP 03 2026
VALID 041200Z - 051200Z
..SYNOPSIS
AN ADDITIONAL DAY OF ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS CAN BE
EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS ON DAY 2/FRIDAY. WITH THE
PERSISTENT LARGE TROUGH DOMINATING THE NORTHWESTERN CONUS, AN
UPPER-LEVEL JET STREAK WILL ROUND IT'S BASE AND ALLOW FOR STRONGER
WINDS CENTERED OVER ID ON THE AFTERNOON OF DAY 2/FRIDAY. GIVEN THE
CONTINUED COMPACT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND WELL-MIXED BOUNDARY
LAYER OVER THE REGION, WINDY AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL IMPACT THE
SURFACE, RESULTING IN AFTERNOON SUSTAINED SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS OF
15-20 MPH COINCIDENT WITH RHS OF 10-20%. AGAIN, PORTIONS OF THE
SOUTHERN TO CENTRAL GREAT BASIN WILL EXPERIENCE SIMILAR WIND/RH
CONDITIONS, BUT FUELS REMAIN LESS RECEPTIVE TO IGNITIONS. MEANWHILE,
UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING REMAINS OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS, PROLONGING HOT
AND DRY CONDITIONS IN THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS. THIS
CONTINUES TO CURE BOTH DEAD AND LIVE FUELS IN THE ABSENCE OF
WIDESPREAD BENEFICIAL PRECIPITATION.
