U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   ZCZC SPCFWDDY1 ALL
   FNUS21 KWNS 300650

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0150 AM CDT Mon Mar 30 2026

   Valid 301200Z - 311200Z

   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN
   WYOMING...

   ...Synopsis...
   An upper ridge will persist over the CONUS today, with an embedded
   mid-level impulse poised to traverse the Rockies, supporting surface
   low development over the Plains. Gradient/downslope flow will
   encourage widespread 15+ mph sustained westerly surface winds amid
   15-20 percent RH over the Four Corners region, and across the
   central and southern High Plains. Elevated highlights have been
   maintained given the presence of dry fuels. Critical highlights also
   remain in place over central and eastern Wyoming, where surface
   winds could sustain over 25 mph for at least a few hours this
   afternoon.

   Isolated high-based thunderstorms are also possible across portions
   of eastern Arizona into western New Mexico in association with the
   passage of a mid-level impulse. Given the expectation of a deep and
   dry boundary layer, lightning over drying fuels with little to no
   rainfall accumulation may occur, warranting isolated dry
   thunderstorm highlights.

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0156 AM CDT Mon Mar 30 2026

   Valid 311200Z - 011200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   A mid-level impulse will overspread the Desert Southwest tomorrow
   (Wednesday), with surface low development expected over the southern
   Plains. This surface low will encourage dry downslope flow across
   portions of the southern High Plains tomorrow afternoon, resulting
   in 15 mph sustained westerly surface winds amid 15 percent RH. These
   conditions will overspread dry fuels, warranting the introduction of
   Elevated highlights.

U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 292051

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0351 PM CDT Sun Mar 29 2026

   Valid 311200Z - 061200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   A mid-level trough will progress from the western U.S. into the
   Great Plains by D5/Thursday, with a more amplified trough entering 
   the central CONUS by the weekend. Dry and breezy conditions
   developing ahead of a surface cold front under increasingly
   southwest flow aloft should maintain a fire weather threat across
   the southern High Plains D3/Tuesday. The active trough pattern will
   bring cooler temperatures and much needed rain and higher elevation
   snow to much of the western U.S. Days 3-5/Tuesday-Thursday with
   precipitation expanding eastward east of the Continental Divide
   through the remainder of the week. This should reduce fire weather
   concerns overall, with exceptions across the central and southern
   High Plains where precipitation will be limited where pockets of
   dry/receptive fuels are likely to remain.

   ...Day 3-6/Tuesday-Thursday - Southern High Plains and far West
   Texas...
   Increasing southwesterly flow aloft and surface lee troughing across
   the southern High Plains will support downslope enhanced winds and
   low relative humidity across eastern NM and portions of western
   TX/TX Panhandle on Tuesday. Slight modifications were made to the
   existing 40% critical probability area, with some uncertainty still
   present in timing of a surface cold front across southern KS into
   the TX Panhandle. The fire weather threat shifts southward into
   southeastern NM and western TX Wednesday as a mid-level trough and
   associated jet eject into the Southern Plains. Deeper boundary layer
   moisture and associated rainfall should remain to the east of the
   southern High Plains, allowing dry and receptive fuels to persist.
   Strong westerly mid-level winds and lee surface troughing will
   continue to support dry, downslope favored flow across the southern
   High Plains for both D5/Thursday and D6/Friday. Initial 40% critical
   probabilities have been introduced for much of eastern NM and
   western TX for Thursday and Friday, with possible inclusion of 70%
   critical probabilities in future outlooks amid the strong mid-level
   flow.
