Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0148 AM CDT Thu Oct 09 2025

Valid 101200Z - 111200Z

...Synopsis...
A compact mid-level trough will continue to progress southeast
across the Great Lakes while a second upper trough moves further
inland from the West Coast, and upper ridging persists over the
central/southern U.S. tomorrow (Friday). Dry and breezy conditions
will accompany a surface cold front that will sweep southeastward
across the Mississippi Valley in tandem with the Great Lakes
mid-level trough. Behind the surface cold front, RH may dip into the
25-40 percent amid 15 mph sustained northwesterly surface winds for
several hours. Given dry fuels already in place, and the lack of any
recent or forecast appreciable rainfall accumulations, Elevated
highlights have been introduced. Based on the latest guidance
consensus, conditions will be most favorable for wildfire spread
over northwest Iowa into central Minnesota during the afternoon
hours on Friday.
