790 FNUS28 KWNS 102146 FWDD38 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. ..Thornton.. 10/10/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
