DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK

0201 PM CDT SUN MAY 31 2026
VALID 011200Z - 021200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
THE PREVIOUS FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK. A PERSISTING DRY AIRMASS
ALOFT AND LOCALIZED BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE FUEL
RECEPTIVITY ACROSS WESTERN NM AND THE COLORADO PLATEAU ON D2/MONDAY.
WIDESPREAD RH VALUES OF 10-15% ARE EXPECTED IN THE SOUTHERN GREAT
BASIN AND SOUTHWEST, THOUGH WEAKER SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE WINDS OF
5-10 MPH (LOCALLY GREATER IN TERRAIN-FAVORED AREAS) PRECLUDE THE
INTRODUCTION OF BROADER FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS. HOWEVER, GIVEN ERCS
APPROACHING THE 90TH PERCENTILE, LOCALLY ELEVATED FIRE CONCERNS MAY
EMERGE.

..SYNOPSIS
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL CONTINUE TO BE LIMITED FOR MONDAY ACROSS
THE COUNTRY. AS WITH D1/SUNDAY, DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS
THE SOUTHWEST AND PORTIONS OF THE GREAT LAKES WHERE FUELS WILL
REMAIN FAIRLY RECEPTIVE. HOWEVER, PRESSURE GRADIENT WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE WEAK OWING TO BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT
LAKES AND A COMBINATION OF MODEST SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS AND WEAK
LOW-LEVEL FLOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS. WHILE LOCALIZED
ELEVATED CONDITIONS APPEAR POSSIBLE IN THE LEE OF MORE PROMINENT
TERRAIN FEATURES ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NM, THE POTENTIAL FOR
WIDESPREAD FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS IS LOW.
