749 FNUS28 KWNS 092156 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0354 PM CST Tue Dec 09 2025 Valid 111200Z - 171200Z Upper-level ridging is likely to continue over the West with mostly upper-level troughing over the Great Lakes, Northeast, and into the Southeast through the weekend. Weak upper lows may traverse through the ridge across the southern half of the West late this weekend into early next week. Much of the Southwest, southern/central Plains, and west/north Texas are likely to receive little to no precipitation during the forecast period. While downslope flow with lee troughing will enhance at times during the forecast period, including on Day 3/Thursday and over the weekend, on portions of the southern/central High Plains. However, probabilities of elevated/critical winds/RH overlapping areas with receptive fuels remain too low to include probabilities. Portions of the Southeast will receive little to no rainfall during the forecast period. Additionally, multiple dry cold frontal passages with dry airmasses filtering in behind are expected for the Southeast over the next week. However, recent rainfall and weak winds will mitigate fire weather concerns. ..Nauslar.. 12/09/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
