Dry westerly/northwesterly flow in the wake of a departing surface trough will encompass much of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region today. West-northwest winds of 10-15 mph (locally 20 mph closer to the Great Lakes) are expected this afternoon. However, large scale juxtaposition of higher winds and low relative humidity will be limited with drier and slightly warmer conditions expected farther southwest. Locally elevated fire weather conditions are possible, but short duration of west winds overlapping with sufficiently low RH precludes highlights across a broader region. ..Williams.. 11/03/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1138 PM CST Sun Nov 02 2025/ ...Synopsis... A strong upper trough will move into the Northeast today. Across much of the southern and central U.S., an upper ridge will be the predominant feature.

Fire weather concerns are generally expected to remain low. Dry and breezy conditions are expected within the central High Plains, upper Mississippi Valley vicinity, the Florida Panhandle/North Florida, and the southern High Plains. Between light winds, short duration of elevated winds, and marginal RH during the afternoon, each of these areas are only expected to experience locally elevated conditions. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
