Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0202 AM CDT Fri Aug 22 2025

Valid 231200Z - 241200Z

...Synopsis...
An amplified large-scale ridge will continue over the western CONUS
on Day 2/Saturday.

...Dry Thunderstorms...
Along the western periphery of the ridge, monsoonal moisture will
continue spreading northward from the Sierra into the Northwest.
Sufficient buoyancy will support isolated mostly dry thunderstorms
during the afternoon/early evening time frame. Given dry/receptive
fuels, isolated lightning-induced ignitions will be possible.

Farther south, isolated thunderstorms are also expected across parts
of southern CA into the Great Basin. However, deep monsoonal
moisture will promote mixed wet/dry thunderstorms. Nevertheless,
lightning-induced ignitions will be possible away from any heavier
rain cores, along with gusty/erratic outflow winds.
