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. ..Williams.. 12/05/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1141 PM CST Thu Dec 04 2025/ ...Synopsis...

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. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
