Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0207 AM CDT Fri Sep 11 2026

Valid 121200Z - 131200Z

...Synopsis...
An upper low is forecast to move into portions of the Pacific
Northwest on Saturday with a fairly strong 70 kt jet streak. As this
jet streak begins to enter the Great Basin, the cross-range flow and
boundary layer mixing will result in dry and breezy conditions
supporting Elevated fire-weather highlights.


...Northern Nevada into far southern portions of Oregon and Idaho...

Westerly surface winds should become fairly gusty, reaching 20-25
MPH and relative humidity of 10-15%. However, fuels are generally in
the vicinity of the 50th-60th annual ERC percentiles, suggesting a
lack of receptiveness to wildfire ignition and spread. In spite of
the meager fuels, meteorological conditions will warrant at least
Elevated highlights owing to the strong surface winds.
