Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1256 AM CDT Tue Sep 08 2026

Valid 091200Z - 101200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
A broad upper-level trough will shift into the Great Lakes while
lingering but reduced west/northwest flow aloft remains over the
northern/central Plains. Localized elevated fire weather concerns
are expected across central WY mainly in the lee of larger mountain
ranges as well as southern WY. A favorable downslope drying
environment will persist over much of central/eastern WY, although
diminished west/northwest boundary layer flow should limit a broader
fire weather threat for D2/Wednesday. A warming and drying trend
will continue across much of the western U.S. as an upper ridge
builds into the Southwest. However, weak surface flow and a
mitigated fuel environment should limit fire weather concerns.
