Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0149 PM CDT Sat Aug 30 2025

Valid 311200Z - 011200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

The most recent high-resolution ensemble guidance indicates a low
chance of relatively fast-moving high-based showers and perhaps
isolated thunderstorms east of the Cascades in north-central
Washington beginning late tomorrow (Sunday) evening through the
overnight. At this time, uncertainty regarding lightning potential
(due to strong capping and weak ascent) coupled with recent rainfall
over the past 48-72 hours lowers confidence in dry thunderstorm
potential. Nevertheless, steep low-level lapse rates could promote
gusty/erratic winds in any thunderstorms that develop. An Isolated
Dry Thunderstorm area may be needed if guidance continues to show
increasing thunderstorm coverage probabilities.

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

...Synopsis...
The upper-level low near the Pacific Northwest will retrograde
westward D2/Sunday into D3/Monday. Continued breezy northerly winds
will be possible across portions of northern California across the
Coastal Range and Portions of the Sierra Nevada, with potential for
localized Elevated conditions. Overall, this threat looks to remain
too isolated to include any areas at this time.
