688 FNUS28 KWNS 242105 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0303 PM CST Mon Nov 24 2025 Valid 261200Z - 021200Z Deep upper-level troughing over the eastern US and weaker upper-level ridging over the West will continue through mid-week before transitioning into quasi-zonal flow across the CONUS. Upper-level troughing is likely to develop over the West this weekend, but forecast guidance varies widely on the strength and trajectory of the troughing over the West. ...Day 4/Thursday - Day 5/Friday: Southeast Coastal Plain into Florida... A cold front will push through the Southeast on Day 3/Wednesday - Day 4/Thursday, with dry/locally breezy post-frontal conditions expected. Elevated to locally critically winds/RH are possible from the coastal Carolinas into the Florida Panhandle Day 4/Thursday, with dry/locally breezy conditions likely continuing Day 5/Friday and expanding into central Florida. Probabilities for critical fire weather conditions were not added due to potential rainfall ahead of the front and uncertainty regarding the overlap of critical winds/RH. If the rainfall does not materialize or confidence grows in areas that will receive little to no rainfall, probabilities will be necessary in subsequent outlooks. ...Day 6/Saturday - Day 7/Sunday: Southwest Texas... Dry/windy conditions are possible across southwest Texas this weekend. However, given the aforementioned high uncertainty regarding the potential troughing over the West and marginal fuel dryness, no probabilities for critical conditions were introduced. ..Nauslar.. 11/24/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
