Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0445 PM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

Valid 121200Z - 181200Z

...Days 3/Sunday...
An upper-level trough will move through the western U.S. through the
weekend. A deepening lee surface trough across the central/northern
High Plains will promote stronger southerly flow across the Great
Plains through Sunday. Dry and breezy conditions will persist across
north-central TX/central OK Day 3/Sunday. A 40 percent area was
maintained with this outlook.

...Days 4-7/Monday-Thursday...
A cold front sweeping across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest
in the Days 3-4/Sunday-Monday time frame should bring some
precipitation to the region, temporarily mitigating fire weather
concerns. Return of the lee trough across the Plains states may
bring southerly flow and above normal temperatures across the
southern Plains midweek, but magnitude of boundary layer moisture
remains uncertain.

Upper-level troughing across the West could minimize fire weather
threats across the region with cooler temperatures, cloud cover and
precipitation. A period of dry/breezy conditions may be possible
across the southern Great Basin on D4/Monday, but recent
precipitation should help mitigate any fire concerns.
