Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1222 AM CDT Thu Oct 29 2026

Valid 291200Z - 301200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
Across the Interior West, westerly flow aloft will gradually
transition to southwesterly as a mid-level trough amplifies over the
Pacific Northwest. Resultant increasing cloud cover across much of
the western CONUS, lighter prevailing winds, and a marginal fuel
environment will limit fire weather concerns. Upper ridging will
continue across the Southeast with surface high pressure remaining
fixed over the eastern CONUS, allowing warm and dry conditions to
prevail. A lack of strong wind where fuels are available to burn,
mainly across the lower MS River Valley and southern Appalachians,
will preclude any significant fire weather threat today.
