U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   ZCZC SPCFWDDY1 ALL
   FNUS21 KWNS 111701

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1101 AM CST Thu Dec 11 2025

   Valid 111700Z - 121200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   Locally elevated to locally critical winds/RH remain expected today
   in portions of eastern Colorado and southeast Wyoming. Some of those
   conditions already occurring at several stations along/east of the
   Front Range in Colorado into southeast Wyoming. 100/1000-hour fuels
   remain near to slightly above normal values and likely partly to
   mostly cloudy conditions may limit the receptiveness of 1/10-hour
   fuels. However, given the strength of the winds (gusts of 30-60
   mph), fires in fine fuels cannot be ruled out.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1135 PM CST Wed Dec 10 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low today. The pattern
   will favor high amplitude ridging across the western US and
   troughing across the eastern US. Westerly flow across the northern
   Rockies and surface troughing across the Plains will allow for some
   overlap of downslope flow with dry conditions across the central and
   southern High Plains. Across eastern Colorado into southeastern
   Wyoming, west-northwest sustained winds of 15-30 mph will overlap
   minimum RH of 15-30%. Across west Texas into central Oklahoma, areas
   of overlap of southwest sustained winds of 10-20 mph and minimum RH
   of 15-25% will be possible. Fuels across both of these regions
   remain marginal and are not receptive to large fire spread, which
   will preclude inclusion of any areas at this time.
      

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0141 PM CST Thu Dec 11 2025

   Valid 121200Z - 131200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   The forecast remains on track, and please see the previous
   discussion for more details.

   ..Nauslar.. 12/11/2025

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1137 PM CST Wed Dec 10 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low on D2/Friday. The
   pattern will remain fairly similar to D1, with ridging across the
   western US and troughing in the east. Breezy conditions will
   continue across the central and southern High Plains as a cold front
   shifts southward into towards coastal Texas through the end of the
   period. Some overlap of localized brief windy/dry conditions will be
   possible across portions of western Texas into eastern New Mexico.
   Overall, localized potential for any Elevated conditions and
   marginal fuels will preclude the need to include areas at this time.


U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 112059

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0259 PM CST Thu Dec 11 2025

   Valid 131200Z - 191200Z

   Upper-level ridging will shift eastward and amplify over the West
   this weekend, but weak upper troughing and embedded upper lows are
   likely to traverse across the Intermountain West and eventually over
   the southern/central Plains early to mid-next week. A strong jet
   along with another strong atmospheric river will likely impinge on
   the northwestern US early next week, with heights forecast to lower
   and the jet shifting farther south across the West mid to late next
   week. The southern half of the West, southern/central Plains, and
   portions of the Southeast are likely to receive little to no
   precipitation during the forecast period. 

   ...Southern/Central High Plains...
   Locally elevated conditions are likely in portions of eastern New
   Mexico into west Texas Day 3/Saturday ahead/along an approaching
   cold front. Rain chances are likely to remain confined to portions
   of south/east Texas and along portions of the Gulf Coast into
   portions of the Deep South. Most of west/north Texas and portions of
   central Texas are likely to remain rain free, further curing fuels
   in these areas. 

   As stronger flow aloft spreads across the West and into the Rockies
   Day 6/Tuesday - Day 8/Thursday, chances for critical fire weather
   conditions increase. Increased downslope flow and lee troughing will
   increase winds amid a dry airmass around mid-next week for multiple
   days. The timing/location of these conditions still remain
   uncertain, precluding introducing probabilities at this time.
   However, if forecast trends hold, probabilities for critical
   conditions will likely increase enough around mid-next week on
   portions of the southern/central High Plains, with the southern High
   Plains currently favored, to include risk areas in future outlooks.

   ...Portions of the Southeast...
   Dry/breezy conditions are likely in portions of Georgia, South
   Carolina, Alabama, and Florida Day 4/Sunday as a cold front pushes
   through the Southeast. Additionally, post-frontal dry conditions are
   likely to remain into Day 6/Tuesday across portions of the
   Southeast. However, given the recent precipitation and limited
   overlap of elevated/locally critical winds/RH, no probabilities were
   included.
