1211 PM CDT Thu Oct 16 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Southeast flow will increase moisture levels and improve fire
weather conditions. Minimum afternoon RH values on Friday are expected
to exceed 50%. Rain chances will remain low today, then gradually increase
Friday and Saturday ahead of a weak front. Despite the improved conditions,
vegetation remains quite dry, enhancing the fire risk due to plentiful
dry fuels.
