Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1155 PM CDT Tue Sep 15 2026

Valid 171200Z - 181200Z

...Synopsis...
Expanding high pressure over the Southeast and central U.S will
contribute to widespread above normal temperatures and dry
conditions on Day 2/Thursday. Meanwhile, a mid-level low will remain
centered over northern California/southern Oregon, maintaining
strong southwesterly flow over the Great Basin. Consecutive days of
dry and windy conditions have led to drying fuels across central
Nevada, increasing fire concerns. Sufficient daytime mixing will
promote south-southwesterly sustained winds of 15-20 mph and RH
values of less than 15%, supporting the introduction of Elevated
highlights across the region.
