SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0127 AM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025

Valid 251200Z - 261200Z

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will slowly advance eastward across the Southwest
while another mid-level trough amplifies over the Great Lakes
tomorrow (Friday). Surface cyclone development is possible across
portions of the Great Basin Friday afternoon, encouraging warm and
dry southerly flow across eastern Arizona into central and southern
New Mexico. Sustained 15-20 mph southerly surface winds will
coincide with 15 percent RH and overspread dry fuels for several
hours, warranting the introduction of Elevated highlights. 

Dry conditions will also persist across portions of the
Mid-Atlantic. While the surface wind field is expected to be too
weak on a widespread basis to justify Elevated highlights, locally
breezy conditions overspreading dry fuel beds will exacerbate any
localized wildfire-spread potential that exists.
