U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   ZCZC SPCFWDDY1 ALL
   FNUS21 KWNS 091653

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1053 AM CST Tue Dec 09 2025

   Valid 091700Z - 101200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   Locally elevated winds/RH are already developing in portions of
   southeast New Mexico, and elevated to perhaps locally critical
   winds/RH are likely during the afternoon in portions of southeast
   New Mexico and west Texas. However, given the marginal fuels
   conditions, no areas are necessary, and the forecast remains on
   track.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1128 PM CST Mon Dec 08 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   A strong shortwave trough will move across the northern Great Plains
   today within a northwesterly flow regime aloft.  In response at the
   surface, a low pressure system will track from southern Saskatchewan
   toward the Great Lakes, with a pressure trough extending southward
   through western Texas.  To the west of this surface trough, dry and
   breezy conditions will prevail within a downslope-flow regime across
   portions of western Texas and southeastern New Mexico. While
   localized elevated meteorological conditions are possible across
   this region, fuel indices are generally not supportive of large
   wildfires, precluding the need for fire-weather highlights.

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1259 PM CST Tue Dec 09 2025

   Valid 101200Z - 111200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   Locally elevated conditions are possible in the Big Bend region of
   Texas during the afternoon. Otherwise, the forecast remains on
   track, and please see the previous discussion for more details.

   ..Nauslar.. 12/09/2025

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1130 PM CST Mon Dec 08 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   On Wednesday, an upper-level trough will deepen over the eastern
   CONUS with strong northwesterly flow upstream.  At the surface, high
   pressure will build in over the central CONUS in the wake of a
   cold-frontal passage.  Despite a shift to northerly surface winds
   over southern Plains, temperatures are still expected to warm into
   the upper 50s F.  Given the strong northerly to northeasterly winds
   just above the surface, vertical mixing could lead to gusty winds
   around midday as RH values fall below 25% across portions of
   Oklahoma and northern Texas.  Even with dry and breezy conditions,
   fuels across the region are generally not receptive for large
   wildfires, limiting fire-weather concerns.


U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 092154

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0354 PM CST Tue Dec 09 2025

   Valid 111200Z - 171200Z

   Upper-level ridging is likely to continue over the West with mostly
   upper-level troughing over the Great Lakes, Northeast, and into the
   Southeast through the weekend. Weak upper lows may traverse through
   the ridge across the southern half of the West late this weekend
   into early next week. Much of the Southwest, southern/central
   Plains, and west/north Texas are likely to receive little to no
   precipitation during the forecast period. 

   While downslope flow with lee troughing will enhance at times during
   the forecast period, including on Day 3/Thursday and over the
   weekend, on portions of the southern/central High Plains. However,
   probabilities of elevated/critical winds/RH overlapping areas with
   receptive fuels remain too low to include probabilities.

   Portions of the Southeast will receive little to no rainfall during
   the forecast period. Additionally, multiple dry cold frontal
   passages with dry airmasses filtering in behind are expected for the
   Southeast over the next week. However, recent rainfall and weak
   winds will mitigate fire weather concerns.
