U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   ZCZC SPCFWDDY1 ALL
   FNUS21 KWNS 100548

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1148 PM CST Mon Nov 09 2026

   Valid 101200Z - 111200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   An upper-level shortwave trough will track east-southeast across the
   northern Plains into the Midwest with an associated deepening
   surface cyclone. Strong northwest flow aloft will trail the surface
   cold front stretching from central/eastern Montana into northeast
   Colorado and northwest Kansas. The west-northwest flow favors
   downslope winds and drying yielding 15-25 mph sustained winds amid
   minimum RH of 15-30% across southeast Wyoming into the Nebraska
   Panhandle and northeast Colorado. However, according to forecast
   fire danger, ERC and 10/100-hour dead fuel moisture values are
   generally around the 50th percentile, with forecast BI values
   between the 50-75th percentiles. While elevated to locally critical
   wind/RH criteria will likely be satisfied, limited fuel
   receptiveness will mitigate the fire risk.

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDDY2 ALL
   FNUS22 KWNS 100549

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1149 PM CST Mon Nov 09 2026

   Valid 111200Z - 121200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   The upper-level flow over the CONUS amplifies on Day 2/Wednesday
   with ridging over the Intermountain West and troughing across
   portions of central/eastern portions of the CONUS. A surface cyclone
   will strengthen and track east-southeast across the Midwest into the
   Ohio Valley. Drier post-frontal flow will develop on much of the
   Plains. However, the stronger winds are likely to be displaced from
   the lowest RH, and fuels are not particularly receptive on the
   Plains. 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.

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.
