Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

1140 AM CDT Fri Oct 17 2025

Valid 171700Z - 181200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Eastern NM and Western Texas...
Increasing southwesterly flow aloft over the Southwest ahead of a
positively tilted upper-level trough will continue to progress into
the Plains today. Efficient daytime mixing of a dry, post frontal
air mass and increasing westerly downslope flow across eastern NM
will support daytime relative humidity as low 15% across portions of
eastern NM and western TX this afternoon. Although sustained
west/southwest winds of 15 mph are expected, lack of receptive fuels
should mitigate the fire weather threat today.

...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns will remain low today across the CONUS. A
large scale trough will gradually shift into the Plains through
D2/Saturday with post-frontal west and northwesterly breezes
expected in the central/high Plains. Cooler temperatures and higher
relative humidity should mitigate fire weather concerns in this
region.

High pressure will build back in across the western US with increase
in onshore flow and breezy/dry conditions in wind prone areas near
the high terrain in southern California. Recent rainfall in this
region should help mitigate the fire weather risk.
