Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0434 PM CDT Thu Apr 03 2025

Valid 051200Z - 111200Z

Widespread precipitation and cooler temperatures accompanying an
active trough pattern will mitigate fire weather concerns across the
eastern U.S., as well as portions of the Southern Plains through the
forecast period. An upper-level ridge, supporting dry and warmer
than normal temperatures across the Western U.S., is expected to
linger into early next week, though surface winds will remain light.
Mid-level ridging transitions into a more zonal flow pattern
beginning D6 (Sunday). The potential for stronger leeward
downsloping winds emerges late in the forecast period across leeward
northern Rockies locations, as northwest flow increases under an
amplifying upper ridge across the western U.S. However, some
precipitation in the Northern Plains increases the uncertainty in
emergent Critical fire weather conditions during this time.
