SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1155 AM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025
Valid 301700Z - 011200Z
...Northern California and Southwestern Oregon...
An approaching mid-level trough, steep low-level lapse rates and
increasing mid-level moisture and instability will aid a mix of
wet/dry thunderstorm development across the higher terrain of
northern California, with showers and thunderstorms propagating into
southern Oregon along and east of the Cascades through this evening.
Isolated dry thunderstorm highlights persist where new ignitions are
possible atop dry fuels.
...Great Basin...
The mid-level trough entering California and associated stronger
southerly mid-level flow will overspread the Great Basin today. A
deep, well-mixed boundary layer will facilitate gusty surface winds
from the south of up to 25 mph across central Nevada, with sustained
winds of around 15 mph. The enhanced winds along with low relative
humidity will promote an elevated fire weather threat amid receptive
fuels.
..Williams.. 06/30/2025
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0215 AM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025/
...Synopsis...
Across the US, sub-tropical ridging will build over the Plains,
keeping stronger flow aloft displaced to the north while an upper
low will overspread portions of the West Coast. Ahead of the low,
breezy southerly winds will advect monsoon moisture northward into
parts of CA and OR. Dry thunderstorms and dry/breezy conditions
appear likely to support elevated fire-weather potential across the
Northwest and Great Basin today.
...Northwest...
Weak ascent from an approaching upper trough will allow for isolated
to widely scattered thunderstorms across northern CA and southern OR
through tonight. Strong heating and dry sub-cloud layers with steep
lapse rates below 500mb will support a mixed wet/dry thunderstorm
environment capable of occasional dry lightning strikes.
Additionally, erratic outflow winds are likely near storms. The
increased potential for dry lightning atop receptive fuels, warrants
continuation of IsodryT probabilities where fire starts are
possible.
...Great Basin...
Beneath the upper ridge, very hot surface temperatures are expected
over parts of NV and western UT. Southerly surface winds may gust to
15-20 mph through the afternoon, concurrent with widespread RH
values below 15%. The presence of breezy low-level winds and the
hot/dry conditions will overlap with a progressively drier and
receptive fuels across NV. This could support a few hours of
elevated fire-weather potential through this evening.

SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1128 AM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025
Valid 301630Z - 011200Z
...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE MIDWEST AND MID ATLANTIC STATES...AND PARTS
OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND WEST COAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of the
southern Plains into the Midwest and the Mid-Atlantic, and in parts
of the Desert Southwest, and also in adjacent parts of southern
Oregon and northern California today.
...Southern OK/Northwest TX...
Morning visible satellite imagery confirms an outflow boundary
extending across central OK. Strong heating to the south of the
boundary will lead to a very unstable air mass with dewpoints in the
mid 70s and MLCAPE values over 3000 J/kg. Scattered thunderstorms
are expected to develop along the boundary by mid-afternoon,
propagating southward into north TX during the evening. Winds aloft
are rather weak in this area, suggesting limited storm organization.
However, the degree of instability and steep low-level lapse rates
will promote a risk of damaging wind in the stronger cells. Hail
will also be possible in the strongest updrafts.
...PA/NY...
A warm and humid air mass is present once again across parts of
NY/PA, where daytime heating will lead to MLCAPE values of 1500-2000
J/kg. Forecast soundings suggest ample mid-level moisture which
will be favorable for considerable coverage of storms, but may limit
the overall severe downdraft potential. Nevertheless, a few strong
to severe cells capable of locally damaging wind gusts are possible.
Refer to MCD #1522 for further details.
...NM/Southeast AZ...
Upper 40s and 50s dewpoints have become established across the
mountains of southern NM into southeast AZ. Full heating will lead
to deep mixing and inverted-v profiles over the region. Scattered
afternoon thunderstorms will likely result in gusty/damaging wind
gusts in some of this activity.
...Upper MI/WI...
A progressive shortwave trough over northern MN will track into the
Great Lakes region today, with cooling mid-level temperatures and
increasing large scale forcing. This will lead to scattered
late-afternoon thunderstorms over parts of WI and the Upper MI.
Locally gusty winds and hail are possible in these storms.
...Northern CA/Southern OR...
Ahead of the weak upper trough immediately west of the CA coast,
southerly flow will aid in increasing mid-level moisture across
parts of northern CA and southern OR. Ample heating coupled with
weak large-scale and orographic ascent will aid in isolated to
scattered high-based thunderstorm development. Very steep lapse
rates will pose a risk of gusty/damaging winds.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE MIDWEST AND MID ATLANTIC STATES...AND PARTS
OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND WEST COAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of the
southern Plains into the Midwest and the Mid-Atlantic, and in parts
of the Desert Southwest, and also in adjacent parts of southern
Oregon and northern California today.
...Southern OK/Northwest TX...
Morning visible satellite imagery confirms an outflow boundary
extending across central OK. Strong heating to the south of the
boundary will lead to a very unstable air mass with dewpoints in the
mid 70s and MLCAPE values over 3000 J/kg. Scattered thunderstorms
are expected to develop along the boundary by mid-afternoon,
propagating southward into north TX during the evening. Winds aloft
are rather weak in this area, suggesting limited storm organization.
However, the degree of instability and steep low-level lapse rates
will promote a risk of damaging wind in the stronger cells. Hail
will also be possible in the strongest updrafts.
...PA/NY...
A warm and humid air mass is present once again across parts of
NY/PA, where daytime heating will lead to MLCAPE values of 1500-2000
J/kg. Forecast soundings suggest ample mid-level moisture which
will be favorable for considerable coverage of storms, but may limit
the overall severe downdraft potential. Nevertheless, a few strong
to severe cells capable of locally damaging wind gusts are possible.
Refer to MCD #1522 for further details.
...NM/Southeast AZ...
Upper 40s and 50s dewpoints have become established across the
mountains of southern NM into southeast AZ. Full heating will lead
to deep mixing and inverted-v profiles over the region. Scattered
afternoon thunderstorms will likely result in gusty/damaging wind
gusts in some of this activity.
...Upper MI/WI...
A progressive shortwave trough over northern MN will track into the
Great Lakes region today, with cooling mid-level temperatures and
increasing large scale forcing. This will lead to scattered
late-afternoon thunderstorms over parts of WI and the Upper MI.
Locally gusty winds and hail are possible in these storms.
...Northern CA/Southern OR...
Ahead of the weak upper trough immediately west of the CA coast,
southerly flow will aid in increasing mid-level moisture across
parts of northern CA and southern OR. Ample heating coupled with
weak large-scale and orographic ascent will aid in isolated to
scattered high-based thunderstorm development. Very steep lapse
rates will pose a risk of gusty/damaging winds.
