Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0450 PM CDT Sun Aug 10 2025

Valid 121200Z - 181200Z

Upper-level troughing will develop across the Pacific Northwest
D3/Tuesday into D4/Wednesday, bringing an increase to winds amid dry
conditions. Rain and thunderstorm chances may increase across this
region by late in the period. As the western highs shifts into the
Four Corners Region, monsoonal moisture may return northward across
portions of Arizona through mid to lake week, with lingering
isolated dry thunderstorm chances before a shift to more wetting
rainfall potential.

...Dry Thunderstorms...
Isolated thunderstorms D3/Tuesday - D5/Thursday will become more
widely scattered with a gradual increase in moisture northward as
the western high shifts into the Four Corners region through the
weekend. This may lead to an increase in wetting rainfall, with less
potential for dry thunderstorms. Some lingering isolated dry
thunderstorm chances may be possible, but for now this threat
appears too low for inclusion of any areas.

...Wind/RH...
Breezy conditions are expected across the Pacific Northwest as the
pattern becomes more progressive, with broad troughing and several
shortwave disturbances moving through early to mid-week. The most
widespread winds are expected D4/Wednesday, when Elevated to locally
Critical conditions are expected across portions of the Columbia
River Basin in eastern Washington and Oregon as a trough moves
inland and enhanced westerly flow overspreads the Cascade Range. A
40% delineation was added with this outlook to cover this potential.
