Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1222 PM CDT Sat Jul 12 2025

Valid 121700Z - 131200Z

...Eastern Montana...
Enhanced northwesterly mid-level flow coinciding with the passage of
a surface trough and associated tightening pressure gradient will
support breezy northwest winds of 15-25 mph today across portions of
eastern Montana this afternoon. Daytime relative humidity as low as
15 percent combined with the steady northwest wind will present an
elevated fire weather threat amid dry fuels across the area.

...Synopsis...
High pressure across the western US will continue to keep winds
mainly light and terrain driven where fuels are the driest Saturday.
Moisture will increase across west-central Colorado, with PWs
approaching 0.60-0.75". A mix of initially dry/wet thunderstorms
will be possible, though the dry thunderstorm risk should remain too
localized to include areas with this outlook.
