Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0159 AM CDT Mon Sep 28 2026

Valid 291200Z - 301200Z

...Synopsis...
...Southern California...
Surface high pressure expanding across the Great Basin as an upper
low moves into the Southwest will maintain dry, breezy offshore flow
across parts of southern CA on Tuesday. Northerly winds of 15-20
mph, with gusts to 30-45, are possible in wind-prone areas across
southern Santa Barbara County and the mountains and foothills of
Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. RH of 15-20 percent, combined with
increasingly dry fuels, will support elevated fire-weather
conditions.

...North-central Montana...
Increasing westerly flow aloft and a tightening surface pressure
gradient across the northern Rockies/High Plains will promote
breezy, downslope winds across north-central MT on Tuesday. Westerly
surface winds of 15-25 mph and minimum RH of 15-20 percent will
overlap dry fuels, yielding elevated fire-weather conditions.
