803 FNUS22 KWNS 071851 FWDDY2 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0151 PM CDT Sat Jun 07 2025 Valid 081200Z - 091200Z The latest high-resolution ensemble guidance continues to suggest widespread breezy post-frontal northwesterly surface winds across the northern High Plains tomorrow (Day 2/Sunday), with sustained surface winds of 20-25 mph and gusts of 30-40 mph. Ensemble guidance has also trended a bit drier in the low-levels, with minimum RH values now forecast between 20-25% across portions of central into northeastern Montana. Several hours of elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions are likely tomorrow afternoon where fuels are at least marginally receptive. While locally elevated fire weather conditions may extend further southeastward, fuels generally remain less receptive due to recent rainfall over the past week. ..Elliott.. 06/07/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0205 AM CDT Sat Jun 07 2025/ ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will deepen across the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley region, promoting widespread showers/thunderstorms and/or the overspreading of rich low-level moisture across much of the Plains to the East Coast tomorrow (Sunday). As such, significant and widespread wildfire-spread conditions should be limited across most locales east of the Rockies. Similar to Day 1, dry conditions will prevail across the Southwest tomorrow, though surface winds appear too weak to warrant fire weather highlights. Widespread 20-25 mph sustained northwesterly surface winds amid 25 percent RH are likely in a post cold-frontal regime over the northern High Plains tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. However, fuels in this region are less receptive, and have received relatively more recent rainfall compared to far northeast Montana. As such, fire weather highlights have been withheld for now. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
