Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0203 AM CDT Sat Sep 12 2026

Valid 131200Z - 141200Z

...Synopsis...
As an upper-level low and associated 70 kt jet streak moves from the
Pacific Northwest into the Northern Rockies on Sunday, dry and gusty
conditions at the surface will support Elevated fire-weather
conditions over much of the Great Basin into the Snake River Valley
and portions of southwestern Montana.

...Great Basin into portions of Idaho and Montana...
Beneath the compact upper-level low and associated strong jet
streak, deep boundary layer mixing will result in broad, gusty
southwest flow of 15-20 MPH and relative humidity around 15%.
Elevated fire-weather conditions could persist as the upper low
progresses eastward and a relatively dry cold front moves across the
region. Fuels guidance has ERCs generally at or below the 70th
annual percentiles, tempering overall fire-weather concerns.
