015 FNUS28 KWNS 032017 FWDD38 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. ..Karstens.. 06/03/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
