U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   ZCZC SPCFWDDY1 ALL
   FNUS21 KWNS 120537

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1137 PM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

   Valid 121200Z - 131200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   The upper-level pattern over the CONUS will remain amplified with a
   deep trough over the eastern US, ridging over the Intermountain
   West, and troughing moving onto West Coast. A cold front will sweep
   southeast through the Southeast as a surface cyclone tracks
   northeast off the Mid-Atlantic Coast, with a secondary cold front
   moving into the Southeast and southern Plains as well. 

   Post-frontal dry and breezy conditions are expected across portions
   of the Southeast, with elevated to locally critical conditions
   extending from southwest Georgia into southeast North Carolina.
   West-southwest winds will turn west-northwest behind the afternoon
   frontal passage with sustained winds of 10-20 mph and wind gusts of
   20-30 mph. RH will drop to 25-40% behind the front coinciding with
   peak heating and little to no cloud cover. Northwest sustained winds
   of 8-15 mph and minimum RH of 20-35% will likely lead to locally
   elevated conditions across southern/central Alabama, Mississippi,
   and into portions of Louisiana, Arkansas, and east Texas.

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDDY2 ALL
   FNUS22 KWNS 120540

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1140 PM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

   Valid 131200Z - 141200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   A broad, deep trough will remain over the eastern US with multiple
   upper lows moving onto the West Coast on Day 2/Friday. Negatively
   tilted upper-level troughing will move over the West bringing rain
   and snow to most of the West Coast and into the Intermountain West.
   Colder, drier air will filter farther south across the eastern US
   amid the continued upper-level troughing.

   Dry and breezy post-frontal conditions will continue across the
   Southeast on Day 2/Friday. Winds will be lighter than Day
   1/Thursday, although northwest-north sustained winds of 8-15 mph and
   gusts to around 20 mph remain likely. Minimum RH will once again
   range from 25-40% across the region with the potential to drop to
   around 20% in/around the ArkLaTex area. Locally elevated conditions
   are likely, but with a forecast of weaker winds and lack of overlap
   of elevated winds/RH and receptive fuels, an Elevated area was not
   introduced.

U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 112136

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0336 PM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

   Valid 131200Z - 191200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   A prominent ridge over the central U.S. will begin to weaken as a
   broad upper trough pushes into the western U.S. The trough will
   usher in deeper Pacific moisture and resultant precipitation for
   much of the Intermountain West through the weekend, although
   portions of the northern Rockies and Northern Plains should remain
   dry into early next week. 

   Surface high pressure settling into the eastern U.S. will keep
   deeper Gulf moisture offshore allowing dry conditions to evolve
   across the Deep South. Preceding rainfall across portions of the
   Southeast leading up to Day 3/Friday along with cooler temperatures
   in a post-frontal environment, could mitigate a broader fire weather
   threat across portions of AL/GA/SC Friday despite northwest winds of
   10-15 mph amid lower daytime RH and marginal fuels. Although dry
   conditions will evolve across the Deep South with daytime RH as low
   as 25% in areas, relaxing surface pressure gradients yielding
   reduced wind speeds should subdue the overall fire weather threat
   heading into next week.
