Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

0148 PM CST Fri Nov 07 2025

Valid 081200Z - 091200Z

The Elevated area was expanded slightly northwestward to the CO
Front Range. Here, the latest high-resolution guidance is in good
agreement, depicting around 25 mph sustained north-northwesterly
surface winds (with higher gusts) amid 15-20 percent RH. Despite
somewhat cool surface temperatures with northward extent (upper 40s
to lower 50s F), the strong/gusty winds and increasingly dry fuels
toward the Front Range will still favor elevated fire-weather
conditions during the afternoon. For additional details, see the
previous discussion below.

...Synopsis...
A potent mid-level shortwave trough is expected to dig across the
central CONUS during the day on Saturday, pushing a strong cold
front southward across the Plains. Behind the front, strong winds to
25-30 mph (locally up to 35 mph) are currently expected across
portions of the central high plains along with RH near 15-20% and
pockets of dry fuels and cured grasses. For these reasons, have
introduced an Elevated risk for fire weather across portions of the
area.

Additionally, some risk for fire weather may occur across portions
of the southern Texas Panhandle and west Texas, where fuels are
drier. However, lower wind speeds and higher RH along with the
potential for high-level clouds reduce confidence in any fire
weather risk here, and therefore have declined to introduce any
highlights in this area in this outlook.
