Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0147 PM CST Fri Dec 05 2025

Valid 061200Z - 071200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

No changes to the Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook. Deep layer
west-northwest flow over the central/southern Rockies increases
through Day 2/Saturday as an upstream mid-level short wave
approaches the Great Plains. A strengthening lee trough across the
central/southern Plains combined with the broad northwesterly flow
aloft should promote a dry and breezy downslope regime across
southeastern NM and TX Permian Basin region Saturday. A few hours of
sustained west to southwest winds of 15-20 mph and relative humidity
below 15% are likely, although fuels will remain largely unreceptive
to wildfire spread, limiting the fire weather threat.

...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low on D2/Saturday.
Strengthening westerly flow aloft will overspread the
northern/central Rockies as the next mid-level wave shifts out of
the Pacific Northwest into the Northern Rockies. A stronger lee
cyclone is progged to develop across the central Plains. This will
likely develop areas of overlap of dry/windy conditions across the
southern High Plains. However, a lack of receptive fuels with recent
wet/cool conditions precludes the need to include any areas.
