Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0210 AM CDT Sat Oct 11 2025

Valid 121200Z - 131200Z

...Synopsis...
A robust midlevel trough will move eastward across the
northern/central Plains. This will favor another day of breezy
southerly surface winds across much of the Great Plains, prior to a
related cold front sweeping across the northern/central Plains.
Upstream, a deep upper low will track southward across the Pacific
Northwest, which will reinforce a larger scale trough over the
Northwest and an offshore pressure gradient across southern CA.

...Southern Plains...
A tight pressure gradient peripheral to lee troughing over the High
Plains will support 15-20 mph sustained southerly surface winds amid
20-30 percent RH during the afternoon. These dry/breezy conditions
atop dry fuels will lead to elevated fire-weather conditions.

...Southern CA...
In response to the tightened offshore pressure gradient, dry/breezy
northeasterly winds are expected across parts of coastal southern
CA. Elevated fire-weather conditions are possible where fuels are
receptive across the mountains and valleys of eastern Ventura and
western Los Angeles Counties, though these conditions appear too
localized for highlights at this time.

...Central Plains...
Behind the cold front, 20-25 mph sustained west-northwesterly
surface winds are expected amid 20 percent RH. While fuels may only
be modestly receptive, this may yield a brief period of elevated
fire-weather concerns during the afternoon.
