   ...Synopsis...
   Mid-level troughing will amplify across the eastern CONUS as an
   upper ridge continues to build over the Interior West tomorrow,
   supporting a deep-layer northwesterly flow regime across the central
   Plains, where a dry boundary layer will be in place. By afternoon
   peak heating, boundary-layer mixing will foster downward momentum
   transport of the stronger flow aloft to support dry and windy
   conditions for several hours tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon. Guidance
   consensus depicts 15-20 mph sustained northwesterly surface winds
   amid 20 percent RH across portions of central Nebraska into Kansas.
   Given at least modestly dry fuels in this region, Elevated
   highlights have been introduced.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0457 PM CDT Tue Apr 08 2025

   Valid 101200Z - 161200Z

   An amplifying mid-level trough will bring cooler temperatures and
   precipitation to much of the eastern U.S. through day 4/Friday. A
   strengthening high pressure ridge will promote potentially record
   setting heat across portions of the southwest desert and
   Intermountain regions beginning day 3/Thursday, lasting through the
   weekend (day 5 and 6). Model guidance consensus remains good in
   bringing an upper-level trough into the Pacific Northwest day
   5/Saturday along with a subtropical jet component that should
   promote widespread Elevated to Critical fire weather conditions
   across the Desert Southwest on Saturday, spreading into the central
   and southern high Plains Sunday. Forecast uncertainty increases
   early next week but muted signals remain for at least some fire
   weather threat across portions of the southern Plains.

   ...Day 5/Saturday - Day 6/Sunday: Desert Southwest and High
   Plains...
   Critical fire weather conditions are possible across a large
   portions of the Desert Southwest on Day 5/Saturday in response to
   the encroaching upper-level trough into the Pacific Northwest and
   subtropical jet influence atop a very dry boundary layer and dry
   fuels. An area of 40 percent Critical probabilities was introduced
   for portions of southeast Arizona, where fuels will undergo several
   more days of drying, into much of New Mexico and southern Colorado
   for Saturday. Synoptically driven fire weather threat will continue
   for New Mexico but shift further into the central High Plains and
   front range of the Rockies as the trough translates eastward on day
   6/Sunday.
