Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0314 PM CST Fri Nov 28 2025

Valid 301200Z - 061200Z

An upper-level trough will track out of the Rockies and strengthen
over the Midwest/Great Lakes Day 3/Sunday - Day 4/Monday, while
another upper-level trough will move out of the Intermountain West
and deepen over the central US Day 4/Monday into Day 5/Tuesday. Yet
another upper-level trough is likely to move southward into the West
Day 5/Tuesday - Day 6/Wednesday. Late in the period, upper-level
ridging is likely over the northeast Pacific onto the West Coast
with upper-level troughing over the eastern US.

Overall, fire weather concerns will be mostly low, but there may be
some locations at times where elevated fire weather conditions are
possible. Multiple days of dry/breezy conditions are likely on
portions of the southern High Plains ahead of expected cold frontal
passages this upcoming week, but there is a fair amount of forecast
uncertainty regarding the magnitude and location of these dry/breezy
conditions. Widespread rainfall is likely across most of the
Southeast, but portions of southern Georgia and Florida could
receive little appreciable rainfall, with dry post-frontal
conditions likely mid to late next week. Given the forecast tracks
of the upper-level troughs over the West, periodic offshore winds in
California, especially southern California, are likely. However,
fuels are unlikely to be receptive given the recent precipitation
across the state, and only potentially elevated winds/RH are
forecast currently.
