Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0459 PM CDT Sun Jul 06 2025

Valid 081200Z - 141200Z

...Day 3/Tuesday...
A cut off low off in the northeast Pacific will begin to push
northeastward into northern CA on Day 3/Tuesday, aided by an
additional mid-level trough pushing into the Pacific Northwest.
Enhanced downslope winds in conjunction with increasing mid-level
flow and gap winds through the Columbia River Gorge will bring a
fire weather threat to much of the Columbia River Basin Tuesday.
Farther south, isolated dry thunderstorms with minimal rainfall will
bring a threat of new fire starts over receptive fuels across
central OR. Dry and breezy conditions will elevate fire weather
concerns across southern NV and far western UT as well.

...Day 4/Wednesday...
The northern CA low will advance into the Great Basin region
Wednesday. A corridor of enhanced mid-level winds and daytime mixing
within a deep/dry boundary layer will support breezy conditions
across much of NV and portions of western UT elevating wildfire
spread potential within dry fuels.

...Days 5-8/Thursday-Sunday...
A mid-level ridge will build over the Southwestern U.S. for the
latter part of the week reintroducing above normal temperatures to
much of the West by the weekend (Days 7-8/Saturday-Sunday).
Thunderstorm threat will largely be confined to southern Arizona and
along and east of the Continental Divide as the ridge builds across
the region.
