Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1131 AM CDT Tue Apr 08 2025

Valid 081700Z - 091200Z

The previous forecast (see below) remains on track. Gusty downslope
winds from the west-northwest along with relative humidity dropping
to around 15 percent are likely this afternoon. These Elevated fire
weather conditions will couple with receptive fuels to magnify
wildfire spread potential across portions of the central High
Plains.

...Synopsis...
Zonal flow will become established across the CONUS, with multiple
embedded impulses expected to progress eastward within the zonal
flow regime. One such mid-level impulse will overspread the central
Rockies this afternoon, supporting surface cyclone development over
the Plains states. Downslope flow is likely over the central High
Plains, with the latest guidance consensus showing 15-25 mph
sustained westerly surface winds coinciding with 20 percent RH,
warranting the maintenance of Elevated highlights given modestly dry
fuels. Occasionally dry and windy conditions are also possible
across portions of the central and southern High Plains, though
recent appreciable precipitation accumulations have dampened fuels,
precluding fire weather highlights.
