282 FNUS22 KWNS 131921 FWDDY2 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0120 PM CST Thu Feb 13 2025 Valid 141200Z - 151200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... The previous forecast (see below) remains on track, with no changes or additions made. ..Squitieri.. 02/13/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1130 PM CST Wed Feb 12 2025/ ...Synopsis... Within the base of a large-scale trough over the West, a belt of strong midlevel west-southwesterly flow will cross the southern/central Rockies. In response, a lee cyclone will deepen over the central High Plains, promoting breezy/gusty south-southwesterly surface winds across the southern and central High Plains. While this may favor pockets of elevated fire-weather conditions where fuels are modestly receptive (portions of west TX and southeast NM), marginal RH reductions should limit the overall fire-weather threat. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
747 FNUS28 KWNS 132148 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0347 PM CST Thu Feb 13 2025 Valid 151200Z - 211200Z A mid-level trough will traverse the central CONUS, with a surface low deepening across the eastern CONUS on Day 3 (Saturday). Downslope westerly surface flow will encourage dry and breezy conditions across portions of southwestern Texas Saturday afternoon, overspreading drying fuels, warranting the maintenance of 40 percent Critical probabilities. Thereafter, multiple mid-level troughs will traverse the CONUS as surface high pressure and associated colder air overspreads much of the U.S. east of the Rockies, promoting quiescent fire weather conditions through much of next week. Some dry and breezy conditions are possible across southern portions of the Lower Colorado River Basin into southwestern Texas. However, confidence in widespread Critical conditions is low at this time. ..Squitieri.. 02/13/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
