SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0114 AM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025

Valid 241200Z - 251200Z

...Synopsis...
A low-amplitude mid-level trough will traverse New England and eject
into the Atlantic as another mid-level trough amplifies along the
West Coast today. Surface high pressure and overall cooler
temperatures will overspread much of the northern U.S. while broad
surface troughing and associated low-level moisture return becomes
established from the Great Plains to the East Coast. As such,
relatively quiescent fire weather conditions are expected over much
of the U.S. today. Dry conditions will persist across the Desert
Southwest, but surface wind fields should be too weak to necessitate
Elevated highlights. Some dry and breezy conditions are possible
across the western Florida Peninsula, where 30-40 percent RH will
overlap with 10-15 mph sustained southeasterly surface winds by
afternoon peak heating. Elevated highlights have been maintained in
this area given dry fuels.

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0458 PM CDT Wed Apr 23 2025

Valid 251200Z - 011200Z

A potent upper trough is expected to translate east-northeastward
from the Desert Southwest into the Northern Plains from Day 3/Friday
through Day 6/Monday. Intensifying mid-level flow over ahead of the
trough over a dry boundary layer will present a multi-day fire
weather threat across portions of the Southwest and adjacent High
Plains where anticipated precipitation will be limited over existing
dry fuels.

...Southwest and Southern Great Basin...
Increasing southwest winds associated with a eastward progressing
upper-level trough will couple with low daytime relative humidity to
generate several days of Elevated to potentially Critical fire
weather conditions across portions of eastern Arizona, New Mexico
and adjacent High Plains, where dry fuels remain or are expected to
develop. The strongest wind and dry air mass alignment, coinciding
with the arrival of the mid-level jet max, will be on Day 5/Sunday
across portions of southern and central New Mexico where a 70
percent chance of Critical fire weather conditions were introduced.
Model guidance depicts the eastward progression of the upper-trough
and subsequent lee surface trough ejection into the Northern Plains
by Day 6/Monday. However, forecast uncertainty exists with spatial
distribution of southern High Plains convective precipitation which
could tame fuel receptiveness to spread across the area. 

...Florida...
A very dry fuelscape remains across the Florida Panhandle. A cold
front descending into the Southeast by early next week with greater
probabilities of wetting rains across northern Florida. Continued
east-southeast winds along with dry fuels could present at least an
Elevated fire weather threat across the southern half of Florida
through the forecast period.
