U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   ZCZC SPCFWDDY1 ALL
   FNUS21 KWNS 110522

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1122 PM CST Tue Nov 10 2026

   Valid 111200Z - 121200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   The upper-level flow over the CONUS will continue to amplify with
   ridging over the Intermountain West and troughing over portions of
   the central/eastern US. A surface cyclone will strengthen and track
   east-southeast across the Midwest into the Upper Ohio Valley. Drier
   pre-frontal conditions are likely across portions of the southern
   Appalachians into Georgia and South Carolina. However, there will
   likely be limited overlap of moderately receptive fuels and elevated
   winds/RH, thus precluding introducing any risk areas at this time.
   Drier post-frontal northwesterly flow is expected on the Plains as
   well, but the strongest winds (15-20 mph sustained) are likely to be
   displaced from the lowest RH (20-25%), with limited receptive fuels.

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDDY2 ALL
   FNUS22 KWNS 110536

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1136 PM CST Tue Nov 10 2026

   Valid 121200Z - 131200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   The upper-level pattern over the CONUS will remain amplified on Day
   2/Thursday with a deep trough over the eastern US, ridging over the
   Intermountain West, and troughing moving onto West Coast. A cold
   front will sweep southeast through the Southeast as a surface
   cyclone moves off the Mid-Atlantic coast. 

   Dry and breezy post-frontal conditions will develop across portions
   of the Southeast, and locally elevated conditions are likely from
   the Lower Mississippi Valley into portions of the Carolinas.
   Northwest-west sustained winds of 10-18 mph amid minimum RH of
   25-40% are forecast from the Lower Mississippi Valley extending east
   through the Deep South into the Carolinas. Forecast burning index
   values may exceed the 80th percentile and approach the 90th
   percentile in portions of this area. If the forecast continues to
   trend towards little to no pre-frontal rainfall and better alignment
   of dry/breezy conditions with modestly receptive fuels, an elevated
   area may be warranted. Additionally, this is the type of scenario
   where forecast guidance can under predict winds and over predict RH.

U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 092121

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0321 PM CST Mon Nov 09 2026

   Valid 111200Z - 171200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   A highly amplified flow pattern develops across the CONUS through
   late this week. Ridging across the western U.S. will contribute to
   above normal temperatures and dry conditions through Day 5/Friday
   under a relatively light wind regime. Farther east, broad troughing
   will envelop the eastern U.S. with a strong surface low moving into
   the Mid Atlantic as a trailing cold front sweeps towards the Gulf
   and Atlantic coasts. A post-frontal air mass will filter into the
   Southeast on Day 4-5/Thursday-Friday bringing dry, offshore flow to
   the Deep South. Preceding precipitation in the Day 3/Wednesday into
   Day 4/Thursday time frame could mitigate impact from the enhanced
   north/northwesterly winds and lower RH. 

   An upper-level trough is expected to enter the western U.S. this
   weekend bringing rain and high elevation snow to much of the
   Intermountain West, alleviating fire weather concerns across the
   region into early next week. Warm and dry conditions across the
   central and northern High Plains ahead of the trough should allow
   for drier fuels to develop into the weekend but lack of overlapping
   dry and breezy conditions should limit the fire weather threat.
