727 FNUS22 KWNS 150647 FWDDY2 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. ..Weinman.. 10/15/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
