SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0237 PM CDT Wed Mar 19 2025 Valid 201200Z - 211200Z ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR EASTERN NEW MEXICO INTO THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES... ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR EASTERN CENTRAL/SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA... A few updates were needed to the D2 Fire Weather Outlook. The Critical area across western New Mexico into the Texas Panhandle was expanded eastward to include more of the Texas Panhandle and into portions of central New Mexico. This was in alignment with recent model guidance which brings stronger winds across these region than previously forecast. Minor adjustments were made to expand the Elevated further across the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles south into southwestern Texas in line with these trends as well. A Critical area was added across the eastern Florida Peninsula with this outlook. Across this region, relative humidity reductions to 25-30 percent will overlap sustained westerly flow around 10-15 mph. A broad Elevated region was included from the central peninsula eastward to the coast. The best overlap of Critical conditions looks to be across the eastern peninsula from the Orlando Metro south to the Gold Coast and Miami Metro. ..Thornton.. 03/19/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0143 AM CDT Wed Mar 19 2025/ ...Synopsis... Elevated to critical fire weather conditions are expected again on Thursday for parts of the southern High Plains. Surface high pressure is expected to build into the south-central CONUS through the day Thursday in the wake of the strong surface low currently over the Plains and its attendant cold front. Meanwhile aloft, a relatively low-amplitude upper wave will begin impinging on the northern Rockies, resulting in modest lee troughing from the northern to central High Plains. West/southwesterly downslope winds are expected to develop to the west of the lee trough, resulting in dry/windy conditions from eastern MT and WY southward into NM and southwest TX. Downslope warming/drying will support RH values in the teens across much of the High Plains with the lowest RH (5-15%) expected across eastern NM given antecedent dry conditions. Sustained winds of 15-25 mph appear likely across northeastern NM where fuels remain dry and limited precipitation is expected over the next 48 hours. Weaker winds with southward extent will limit the potential for critical conditions, but winds in the between 15-20 mph will still support areas of elevated fire weather conditions. Further north into the central High Plains, elevated to critical meteorological conditions are likely, but ongoing rain/snow will likely mitigate fuel dryness for the next few days. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0237 PM CDT Wed Mar 19 2025 Valid 201200Z - 211200Z ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR EASTERN NEW MEXICO INTO THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES... ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR EASTERN CENTRAL/SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA... A few updates were needed to the D2 Fire Weather Outlook. The Critical area across western New Mexico into the Texas Panhandle was expanded eastward to include more of the Texas Panhandle and into portions of central New Mexico. This was in alignment with recent model guidance which brings stronger winds across these region than previously forecast. Minor adjustments were made to expand the Elevated further across the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles south into southwestern Texas in line with these trends as well. A Critical area was added across the eastern Florida Peninsula with this outlook. Across this region, relative humidity reductions to 25-30 percent will overlap sustained westerly flow around 10-15 mph. A broad Elevated region was included from the central peninsula eastward to the coast. The best overlap of Critical conditions looks to be across the eastern peninsula from the Orlando Metro south to the Gold Coast and Miami Metro. ..Thornton.. 03/19/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0143 AM CDT Wed Mar 19 2025/ ...Synopsis... Elevated to critical fire weather conditions are expected again on Thursday for parts of the southern High Plains. Surface high pressure is expected to build into the south-central CONUS through the day Thursday in the wake of the strong surface low currently over the Plains and its attendant cold front. Meanwhile aloft, a relatively low-amplitude upper wave will begin impinging on the northern Rockies, resulting in modest lee troughing from the northern to central High Plains. West/southwesterly downslope winds are expected to develop to the west of the lee trough, resulting in dry/windy conditions from eastern MT and WY southward into NM and southwest TX. Downslope warming/drying will support RH values in the teens across much of the High Plains with the lowest RH (5-15%) expected across eastern NM given antecedent dry conditions. Sustained winds of 15-25 mph appear likely across northeastern NM where fuels remain dry and limited precipitation is expected over the next 48 hours. Weaker winds with southward extent will limit the potential for critical conditions, but winds in the between 15-20 mph will still support areas of elevated fire weather conditions. Further north into the central High Plains, elevated to critical meteorological conditions are likely, but ongoing rain/snow will likely mitigate fuel dryness for the next few days. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
