166 FNUS28 KWNS 042048 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0246 PM CST Thu Dec 04 2025 Valid 061200Z - 121200Z The upper-level pattern over the next 8 days will generally feature a trough in the East with ridging in the West. This will favor repeated cold air intrusions east of the Divide. Within the upper-level ridging, temperatures will be warmer within the Southwest into parts of the southern Plains. This could lead to areas of modest fuel drying, though current fuel states are not receptive given recent cool/cold temperatures and precipitation. As surface cyclones/lee troughs develop in the southern High Plains, some dry and breezy conditions will be possible. As noted, fuels are not receptive and confidence in more than localized concerns is quite low at this time. ..Wendt.. 12/04/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
