Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0235 PM CDT Sat May 09 2026

Valid 101200Z - 111200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Southwest and Great Basin...
Dry conditions including minimum surface RH of 5-15% by peak
afternoon heating are expected across much of the Southwest (west of
the Continental Divide) and Great Basin Sunday. A deeply mixed
boundary layer will evolve under a building upper ridge by Sunday
afternoon. However, overall surface winds will be rather light amid
a diffuse pressure gradient field, limiting a broader fire weather
threat across the region. No changes to the previous outlook were
necessary.
