Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1131 AM CDT Sat Aug 30 2025

Valid 301700Z - 311200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

Today`s fire weather outlook remains largely on-track, with no
changes needed to the ongoing outlook. While isolated showers and
perhaps a couple of thunderstorms are possible this afternoon into
early evening across portions of northeast Oregon, far southeast
Washington, and adjacent portions of Idaho, low confidence in
lightning potential coupled with uncertainty regarding fuels status,
especially given recent rainfall over the past 24-48 hours,
precludes introducing an Isolated Dry Thunderstorm area.
Nevertheless, a few new ignitions may be possible where fuels remain
at least locally receptive - mainly across portions of northeast
Oregon.

Please see the previous discussion below for more information on
today`s fire weather forecast.

...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns are expected to be low across the CONUS on
today. Ridging will continue to build across much of the western US
with warming and drying conditions. An upper-level low will be off
the coast of the Pacific Northwest, with precipitable water
increasing across much of the region west of the Cascades.
Conditions west of the Cascades will be much drier, but overall wind
speeds are expected to be light with no thunderstorm activity
expected. A few spotty Elevated conditions will be possible across
portions of northern California across the Coastal Ranges where
breezy northerly winds will overlap dry fuels. However, this threat
appear to be too brief and localized to include any areas at this
time.
