Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0146 AM CDT Wed Oct 15 2025

Valid 161200Z - 171200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
Downstream of a highly amplified large-scale trough over the West, a
south-southwesterly midlevel jet will overspread the
central/northern Plains. A related surface low will track northward
across the northern Plains, while a secondary lee cyclone evolves
over the central High Plains. Near and south of the lee cyclone, a
tightened pressure gradient will favor 15-20 mph sustained southerly
surface winds (with higher gusts) over the central/southern Plains.
While these breezy/gusty winds may briefly overlap 25-30 percent RH
over parts of the southern Plains (where fuels are dry), the
fire-weather threat looks too marginal/localized for highlights at
this time.

Over parts of the Mid-Atlantic, dry/breezy post-frontal conditions
may result in locally elevated fire-weather conditions for any areas
that missed out on rainfall over the last couple weeks.
