Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0156 AM CDT Sat Aug 23 2025

Valid 231200Z - 241200Z

...Synopsis...
An expansive midlevel high will remain in place over the Four
Corners vicinity, while deepening monsoonal moisture continues
spreading northward across the Great Basin into the Northwest. Along
the western periphery of the midlevel high, an unseasonably
hot/unstable air mass will persist across much of CA into the Great
Basin, where another day of diurnally driven showers and
thunderstorms are expected. While the gradually deepening monsoonal
moisture will favor a mix of wet/dry thunderstorms, a dry/deeply
mixed sub-cloud layer will tend to limit precipitation accumulations
over many areas. As a result, isolated lightning-induced ignitions
will be possible over dry fuels, along with gusty/erratic outflow
winds.
