325 FNUS28 KWNS 052152 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0450 PM CDT Sun Oct 05 2025 Valid 071200Z - 131200Z ...Eastern U.S.... A mid-level trough and attendant surface cold front are expected to push through the Great Lakes into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions through midweek. A plume of richer Gulf moisture will support heavier rainfall totals ahead of the cold front along the Ohio River Valley and Appalachians, while lighter but still wetting rains along the cold front across much of the Atlantic States through Wednesday. This should result in an overall mitigation of fire weather concerns. Cooler and dry conditions with mainly light winds move into much of the eastern U.S. as surface high pressure slides into the New England region through late week. ...Western U.S.... Increasing southwest flow aloft ahead of a mid-level trough approaching the Pacific Northwest and a weakening coastal thermal trough will ameliorate recent dry conditions along and west of the Cascades by midweek. Dry and breezy conditions across the Desert Southwest on Day 4/Wednesday but expected unreceptive fuels should limit fire weather potential. Forecast uncertainty increases beyond midweek regarding evolution of upper trough/low impacting the Northwest. However, fuels across the West remain relatively benign which should limit overall fire weather potential. ..Williams.. 10/05/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
