SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0140 AM CDT Fri May 02 2025
Valid 031200Z - 041200Z
...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns will continue to be focused across the
Southwest as isolated to scattered thunderstorms develop through
late Saturday afternoon. Upper ridging is expected to spread across
the High Plains through the day as an upper wave begins to approach
the West Coast. Southerly low/mid-level flow ahead of the upper wave
will help maintain a modestly moist air mass (characterized by 0.4
to 0.6 inch PWAT values) across the Southwest into the Great Basin.
Increasing broad scale ascent, coupled with antecedent steep
mid-level lapse rates, will promote isolated thunderstorms from
central NM to central NV by late afternoon. Limited moisture
throughout the column combined with deep boundary layers will act to
limit precipitation amounts and support dry lightning strikes. While
this potential is noted across a broad swath of the region, the fire
weather threat will be greatest across eastern AZ into NM where fuel
conditions are currently the driest per recent fuel and drought
guidance.

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1255 AM CDT Fri May 02 2025
Valid 021200Z - 031200Z
...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns are expected to remain confined to the
Southwest for today, and will mainly manifest as a dry-thunderstorm
risk across parts of far eastern Arizona into central New Mexico.
Early-morning water vapor imagery shows a weak upper low over the
southern CA coast. This feature is expected to drift east over the
next 24 hours, reaching AZ/NM by peak heating this afternoon. Steep
mid-level lapse rates and modest mid-level moisture were sampled by
the FGZ and ABQ 00z soundings, which should be adequate for weak
convection this afternoon as ascent overspreads the region. Deep,
well-mixed boundary layers between 2-3 km deep, coupled with PWAT
values of 0.6 inches or less, should promote relatively dry
thunderstorms from central AZ to central NM. Latest fuel and drought
guidance shows sufficiently dry conditions across eastern AZ into NM
to support fire ignitions from dry lightning strikes. South of the
dry thunderstorm risk area, 10-15 mph southerly winds coupled with
RH values in the teens will promote pockets of elevated fire weather
conditions.
