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. ..Williams.. 09/30/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0137 AM CDT Tue Sep 30 2025/ ...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. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
