Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0452 PM CDT Fri Apr 11 2025

Valid 131200Z - 191200Z

A digging upper-level trough over the Northern Plains on day
3/Sunday will translate east-southeastward into the Great Lakes
region through day 5/Tuesday. Enhanced westerly mid-level flow atop
a dry, deeply mixed boundary layer south of the aforementioned
upper-level trough will result in likely Critical fire weather
conditions across a large portion of the Desert Southwest and
Southern Plains on day 3/Sunday where dry, drought stressed fuels
exist. Strong northwest winds in a dry, post-frontal environment in
addition to a lack of precipitation and persistent receptive fuels
could bring Critical fire weather conditions to portions of the
Central Plains on day 4/Monday. Persistent westerly flow aloft along
with a mid-level short wave trough is expected to keep at least an
elevated fire weather threat across the Desert Southwest and
southern High Plains from day 5/Tuesday through day 7/Thursday.
