Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0449 PM CDT Tue Jul 08 2025

Valid 101200Z - 161200Z

...Day 3/Thursday...
A mid-level short wave with associated stronger deep layer westerly
flow will bring a fire weather threat to a corridor from the Arizona
Strip to the Western Slope. The stronger westerly flow in concert
with a dry/well-mixed boundary layer will promote a dry and breezy
setup amid an increasingly dry fuelscape.

...Days 4-8/Friday-Tuesday...
Model guidance consensus indicates a broad mid-level ridge centroid
slowly propagating westward from AZ on Day 3/Thursday to off the
southern CA coast by Day 7/Monday. Primary impact will be increasing
temperatures to above seasonal normals along with dry conditions
across the majority of the West, aiding in drying of fuels. Stronger
west-northwesterly flow across the Northern Tier states could
provide for elevated surface winds at times, but overlap of a low
relative humidity/dry fuel environment is not likely with the
exception of southern ID/Snake River Plain over the weekend (Days
5-6/Saturday-Sunday). Overall thunderstorm threat will be limited to
the eastern U.S. (along and east of the Continental Divide) through
early next week.
