U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   ZCZC SPCFWDDY1 ALL
   FNUS21 KWNS 261654

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1054 AM CST Fri Dec 26 2025

   Valid 261700Z - 271200Z

   Minor adjustments to the outlook were made based on a southwestward
   trend in the morning guidance with respect to the corridor of
   strongest westerly winds across portions of the Texas Panhandle and
   northeastern New Mexico this afternoon. Otherwise, the forecast
   remains on track.

   ..Supinie.. 12/26/2025

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1227 AM CST Fri Dec 26 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   An upper-level ridge over the central CONUS will remain
   quasi-stationary throughout the day, with an embedded speed max
   traversing the ridge from the Southwest into the Central Plains.
   Diurnal heating/mixing will allow this enhanced flow aloft to mix
   toward the surface, resulting in sustained westerly winds near 15
   mph across portions of the southern High Plains. Additionally,
   downslope westerly winds near 15-20 mph should develop along the lee
   of the Rockies, extending into portions of central Colorado during
   the afternoon. Afternoon RH values across these regions should fall
   into the lower teens amid dry/receptive fuels, promoting Elevated
   fire-weather conditions.
      

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDDY2 ALL
   FNUS22 KWNS 261926

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0126 PM CST Fri Dec 26 2025

   Valid 271200Z - 281200Z

   Some dry, downslope westerly winds are possible across portions of
   northeastern Colorado during the day on Saturday ahead of a surface
   cold front. Given the receptive fuels in the area, this may lead to
   some brief Elevated fire weather risk during the afternoon. However,
   uncertainty on the degree to which mid- and upper-level cloud cover
   will impact mixing, and therefore the RH and wind strength, preclude
   adding any highlights at this time. Otherwise, the previous forecast
   remains largely on track with only minor adjustments made to the
   Elevated highlights over the Texas Panhandle.

   ..Supinie.. 12/26/2025

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1228 AM CST Fri Dec 26 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   An upper-level ridge will remain in place along with an embedded
   speed max across the central/southern Plains. The combination of lee
   troughing and mixing should allow for sustained winds of 15-20 mph
   to develop during the afternoon across the OK/TX Panhandles and
   vicinity. Despite somewhat marginal RH values, perhaps approaching
   the low to mid 20s, persistent dry conditions have led to
   dry/receptive fuels, which will promote a few hours of Elevated
   fire-weather conditions for this region.


U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 262111

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0311 PM CST Fri Dec 26 2025

   Valid 281200Z - 031200Z

   A longwave mid-level ridge has been in place over the central CONUS
   for the last several days. By early D3/Sunday, this feature will
   begin to move eastward with a shortwave trough digging across the
   northern and central Rockies on the western periphery of the ridge.
   This shortwave trough will move eastward through D4/Monday, pushing
   a cold front southward across the central and eastern CONUS.

   Brief Elevated fire weather conditions may occur across portions of
   west Texas and the Permian basin on Sunday with the cold front
   passage, however rapidly cooling temperatures and increasing RH
   behind the front is expected to inhibit a long-duration risk.
   Additional fire weather risk may be present in the post-frontal
   regime across central Texas on Monday afternoon. However, several
   factors preclude introduction of highlights in this area, including
   cool temperatures and uncertainties regarding cloud cover, which
   could keep temperatures cooler and RH higher. Additionally, fuels in
   the area are not particularly receptive to fire spread, and
   precipitation early in the day may reduce susceptibility even
   further.

   By D5/Tuesday, a longwave trough is expected to become established
   over the eastern half of the CONUS and remain there through the end
   of the period, promoting surface high pressure and light winds
   across the southern Plains. A shortwave trough embedded in the
   northwesterly flow may push another cold front southward sometime
   around D6/Wednesday or D7/Thursday, and this may carry some fire
   risk with it, as well. However, confidence in any particular outcome
   is not high enough to warrant highlights at this time.
