Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1237 AM CDT Wed Sep 30 2026

Valid 011200Z - 021200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
A mid-level low over the southern Plains will transition into
weakening upper troughing as it progresses northeastward on Day
2/Thursday. At the surface, a slow-moving cold front will extend
from the Great Lakes region into the Texas Hill Country. Widespread
rainfall will continue along the front, bringing much-needed relief
to dry fuels in the eastern Arkansas River Basin. Meanwhile, ridging
will rapidly expand over the Desert Southwest, promoting
above-normal temperatures and dry conditions in much of the western
Great Basin and California. Fuels will continue to dry under these
meteorological conditions, but generally light surface winds should
limit fire weather concerns.
