Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1026 AM CST Fri Dec 05 2025

Valid 051700Z - 061200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

No changes to the Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook. Weak lee troughing
development across the southern High Plains as a mid-level trough
ejects into the Great Plains will promote a favorable dry, downslope
environment across portions of eastern NM and TX Permian Basin
today. West-northwest winds of 15 mph combined with relative
humidity in the 15-20% range are expected, but recent precipitation,
relatively cool conditions and unreceptive fuels should limit
broader fire weather concerns.

...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low today across the
CONUS. A period of westerly downslope flow can be expected across
eastern New Mexico into western Texas as a weak lee-side low
develops. Some overlap of relative humidity reductions around 15-20
percent will be possible for a couple of hours in the afternoon.
However, recent cool and wet conditions across the southern High
Plains have improved status of fuels and will mitigate any
widespread fire weather concerns.
