Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0106 AM CDT Tue Sep 01 2026

Valid 021200Z - 031200Z

...Synopsis...
A corridor of dry southwest flow southeast of the broader
upper-level trough over the Northwest will present fire weather
concerns where receptive fuels exist across portions of central and
northeastern WY, central and southern MT, and the low elevations of
far southwestern SD on Day 2/Wednesday. A persistent deep layer of
southwest flow amid lee surface troughing over the central/northern
High Plains will support southwest surface winds of 15-20 mph
coincident with afternoon RHs as low as 10% within portions of the
drawn area. Light rainfall prior to the onset of dry and windy
conditions is not anticipated to significantly impact fuels
receptivity.

Strong southwest winds of 15-25 mph and low daytime RH will also
occur from southern NV into western UT on Day 3/Wednesday. However,
recent more substantial rainfall has muted fuel receptivity across
this area, precluding any drawn areas.
