360 FNUS21 KWNS 061654 FWDDY1 Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1153 AM CDT Mon Oct 06 2025 Valid 061700Z - 071200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... Fire weather concerns remain minimal and localized across the contiguous U.S. through tonight. See previous forecast. ...Cascades... Locally elevated fire weather conditions attributed to dry, easterly flow over the Cascades are possible today as a thermal trough remains along the West Coast. Stronger sustained east winds around 20 mph through favored Cascade gaps and relative humidity below 20% could align, where fuels remain relatively dry. ...New England... Near record setting warmth across New England within dry southwesterly flow ahead of a cold front is expected through this afternoon. Broader scale southwest winds should remain at 10 mph or less, but localized terrain influenced flow of 15 mph, along with relative humidity around 25% and dry fuels could bring localized elevated fire weather threats to the region. ..Williams.. 10/06/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0153 AM CDT Mon Oct 06 2025/ ...Synopsis... Fire-weather concerns are low today and tonight. A broad upper trough over the northern US will help force a cold front south over the Plains. The cold front will favor cooler and more moist surface conditions over much of the region while elsewhere, surface high pressure will limit surface winds over the eastern US where dry conditions are expected. Aside from some intermittent easterly flow through the Cascade Gaps, surface winds over much of the US will be poorly aligned with dry fuels and low humidity. Additional wetting rainfall behind the advancing cold front will limit available fuels precluding fire-weather concerns. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
