No changes were needed to the Day 2 outlook, with minimal fire weather concerns across the contiguous U.S. A strengthening lee trough across southern Alberta will promote increasing south to southwest winds across the Northern Plains on Tuesday. South to southwest winds of 15-20 mph, with some downslope enhancement and drying off the Central Rockies are expected over the Black Hills region and adjacent plains. Deeper moisture will be shunted a bit farther east of the Black Hills with minimum relative humidity falling below 25% in some areas. Locally elevated fire weather conditions can be expected Tuesday afternoon across western NE and far northeastern CO. ..Williams.. 09/29/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0111 AM CDT Mon Sep 29 2025/ ...Synopsis...

Winds will likely increase to 15-20 mph across much of the Dakotas as the low intensifies through the day. However, returning moisture will likely continue to limit RH reductions with the driest solutions suggesting RH reductions may only reach near 30%. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
