   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   The upper-level low near the Pacific Northwest will retrograde
   westward D2/Sunday into D3/Monday. Continued breezy northerly winds
   will be possible across portions of northern California across the
   Coastal Range and Portions of the Sierra Nevada, with potential for
   localized Elevated conditions. Overall, this threat looks to remain
   too isolated to include any areas at this time.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0427 PM CDT Fri Aug 29 2025

   Valid 311200Z - 061200Z

   A closed mid/upper-level low is forecast to remain nearly stationary
   along/off the Pacific Northwest coast Day 3/Sunday into Day 4/Monday
   before retrograding westward into the Pacific by Day 5/Tuesday.
   Meanwhile, an upper-level ridge is forecast to continue building
   across the Western US Day 3/Sunday and remain over the area through
   late next week. Another compact mid/upper-level low is forecast to
   drift northeastward from the Pacific and overspread portions of
   central/northern California Day 5/Tuesday and Oregon by Day
   7/Thursday. 

   ...Day 3/Sunday - Day 4/Monday: Northern California, the inland
   Northwest, and the northwest Great Basin...
   The aforementioned closed low along the Pacific Northwest coast is
   forecast to promote dry and breezy conditions across portions of
   northern California, the inland northwest, and the northwest Great
   Basin Day 3/Sunday and Day 4/Monday. At this time, wind speeds are
   forecast to remain below Critical thresholds on a large-scale basis,
   precluding Critical probabilities. 

   ...Day 4/Monday - Day 7/Thursday: Northern California and the
   Northwest...
   Hot, dry, and unstable conditions are forecast to develop across
   portions of Northern California and the Northwest Day 4/Monday
   through much of the week as the aforementioned ridge builds into the
   area and a thermal trough strengthens. This may lead to an increase
   in fire activity from recent holdovers and also promote longer burn
   periods on ongoing large fires. 

   Forecast guidance has also come into better agreement regarding the
   evolution of the aforementioned compact upper-level low, which is
   now forecast by most guidance to drift slowly along the California
   coast Day 5/Tuesday and into southern Oregon by Day 7/Thursday.
   While lightning potential may increase as increasing moisture
   interacts with a hot and unstable atmosphere, there remains a bit
   too much uncertainty regarding timing, location, and coverage of
   thunderstorms to introduce dry thunderstorm probabilities.
   Nevertheless, with fuels becoming increasingly receptive early next
   week, as the upper-level ridge builds into the area, any lightning
   potential will be monitored closely over the next few days.
