Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0315 PM CDT Tue Jun 03 2025

Valid 051200Z - 111200Z

A broad upper-level trough over the western CONUS on D3/Thursday
will shift east into the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley region by
D5/Saturday. Meanwhile, an upper-level ridge will build across the
West. Medium range guidance suggests potential for a series of
on-shoring mid-level troughs and/or cutoff lows thereafter, coupled
with a surge of subtropical moisture, into portions of the western
Great Basin, northern California, and the Pacific Northwest. This
may increase the potential for isolated dry thunderstorms across
this region by D6/Sunday and beyond, but limited predictability in
the evolution of these conditions precludes introducing any
highlights at this time.

In addition, the amplifying ridge will promote a general
warming/drying trend across most areas of the West, acting to
increase fuel receptivity. However, generally weak winds beneath the
ridge should keep broad fire-weather concerns low into early next
week.
