Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0247 PM CDT Tue Sep 30 2025

Valid 011200Z - 021200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

Large scale fire weather concerns remain limited across the
contiguous U.S. for Wednesday. An eastward translating surface
trough moving through the Dakotas will support steady southerly
winds of up to 20 mph across portions of the Northern Plains.
Overlap of winds and low relative humidity is unlikely and will
reduce fire weather impacts over marginally dry fuels. Dry, post
frontal flow from the north-northeast is expected to continue across
New England as high pressure settles into the region Wednesday.
Localized channeling of winds through north-south aligned valleys
will promote sustained north winds of up to 15 mph with gusts around
20 mph, but alignment of winds with dry fuels and sufficiently low
relative humidity is not expected.

...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns appear limited for Wednesday across the
country. A slight de-amplification/weakening of the upper-level flow
regime is expected across the western CONUS through late Wednesday.
This will promote a steady weakening of the surface low/trough
currently developing along the northern/central High Plains as it
migrates eastward over the next 24-48 hours. Consequently, gradient
winds should be weaker compared to today, but some locations across
the Plains/High Plains may see breezy winds up to 15-20 mph
(especially across eastern ND) along with modestly dry (25-30% RH)
conditions. However, fuel status should remain sufficiently limited
to support a widespread fire weather concern. Elsewhere, a
combination of recent rainfall and/or weak winds should limit
further concerns.
