Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0154 AM CDT Sat Jun 07 2025

Valid 071200Z - 081200Z

...Synopsis...
Broad upper troughing will overspread the north-central to eastern
CONUS today, supporting the northward return of low-level moisture,
as well as scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms to much
of the U.S. east of the Rockies. As such, wildfire spread concerns
should be limited for much of the central and eastern CONUS. While
overall dry conditions will prevail across portions of the Southwest
into the Great Basin, overall fuel receptiveness and strength of the
surface wind fields appear too marginal for fire weather highlights.
One area for some wildfire-spread potential is northeast Montana.
Here, a surface cold front will sweep across the region, with
widespread 25+ mph sustained northwesterly surface winds likely
during the afternoon. Since RH may dip to 20 percent with the
aforementioned strong surface wind field, and given ERCs approaching
the 80th percentile in spots, Elevated highlights have been
introduced for far northeastern Montana.
