   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0140 AM CDT Sun Oct 25 2026/

   ...Synopsis...
   Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low across the CONUS
   today. The western US trough will begin to move into the southern
   Rockies, with a front bringing rainfall extending into the central
   Plains/Midwest. Dry and warm conditions are expected across the
   Southeast in association with the eastern US high. Generally light
   surface winds will keep fire concerns low despite a few areas with
   lower afternoon relative humidity amid dry fuels.

   Valid 261200Z - 271200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low on D2/Monday. A
   series of shortwaves will bring widespread precipitation across the
   central/northern Rockies into the central Plains and upper Midwest.
   Warm and dry conditions will persist across the eastern US. Overall,
   overlap of windy/dry conditions with receptive fuels is not
   expected.

U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 242137

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0437 PM CDT Sat Oct 24 2026

   Valid 261200Z - 011200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   A series of mid/upper short waves will lift northeastward from the
   central and northern Rockies into the Plains, Upper Midwest and
   Great Lakes through Day 6/Thursday as a ridging pattern maintains
   over much of the eastern U.S. A robust mid-level jet over WY and an
   evolving surface low across the northern Plains will contribute to
   downslope drying and stronger westerly winds across eastern WY on
   Day 4/Tuesday, although cooler temperatures and precipitation
   preceding this wind event on Day 3/Monday could reduce overall fire
   weather threat. 

   Fuels continue to degrade within the lower MS River Basin as severe
   to extreme drought slowly expands under persistently dry conditions.
   Although receptive fuels exist, a light wind regime under a ridging
   pattern and weak surface pressure gradients will limit fire weather
   concerns through much of the week. Northeast to east wind
   trajectories will keep deeper atmospheric moisture towards the Gulf
   Coast resulting in low daytime RH each day across much of the
   interior Deep South. Longer term ensemble guidance suggests a return
   of more established and deeper troughing across the West while
   ridging remains over the eastern CONUS but fire weather concerns are
   likely to remain subdued.
