098 FNUS28 KWNS 262118 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0316 PM CST Wed Nov 26 2025 Valid 281200Z - 041200Z Deep upper-level troughing will begin to weaken and move out of the eastern US Day 3/Friday - Day 4/Saturday. A mid-level shortwave trough will move east-southeast out of the Rockies this weekend and likely deepen over the Midwest/Great Lakes with another upper-level shortwave trough likely following it but with a track more over the Intermountain West. Ridging will establish and modulate in strength over the northeast Pacific with generally lower heights/upper-level troughing over much of the CONUS next week. ...Day 3/Friday: Southern Georgia through Central Florida... Dry/breezy post-frontal conditions will continue across portions of Georgia through central Florida Day 3/Friday. RH will likely be below critical thresholds for much of this area with winds more of the limiting factor for critical fire weather conditions. Winds are likely to be more northeasterly across south Florida and on the eastern half of the Florida Peninsula, which will likely increase RH above elevated thresholds in these areas. A 40% probability area was added to reflect the likely elevated fire weather conditions, and it may need to be expanded farther north-northwest into the Florida Panhandle and southern Georgia if winds trend stronger in the forecast and RH remains low. ...Day 4/Saturday: Southeast New Mexico and Southwest Texas... Some dry/breezy conditions are likely in southeast New Mexico and southwest Texas ahead of an approaching cold front on Day 4/Saturday. However, recent cool weather and precipitation have mitigated fuel concerns. The marginal fuel receptiveness and forecast of only locally elevated/elevated winds/RH preclude introducing probabilities. ..Nauslar.. 11/26/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
