SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0457 PM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025 Valid 011200Z - 071200Z The active fire weather pattern across the Southwest will temporarily abate for Day 3/Thursday as a troughing pattern shifts to the eastern U.S. A building upper-level ridge will bring warmer temperatures and lighter winds to much of the Intermountain West/Northwest on Day 4/Friday. As the Northwest warms up, a weak, embedded mid-level wave moving into the Desert Southwest interacting with residual frontal moisture could bring isolated dry thunderstorms to higher terrain of northern Arizona/north central New Mexico on Day 4. However, a lack of widespread fuel dryness precludes inclusion of dry thunderstorm probabilities at this time. Higher confidence still exists for hot, dry and breezy conditions across southern Arizona/New Mexico for Days 4-5/Friday-Saturday as trough and associated enhanced mid-level flow move through the region. A more powerful trough and associated mid-level jet max is expected to move into the western U.S. over the weekend (Days 5-6). This should bring a more broad fire weather threat to much of the Southwest, but increasing ensemble member spread from Day 6 onward introduces considerable uncertainty in wave translation through the region. As such, critical probabilities were withheld for early next week (Day 7-8/Monday-Tuesday) time frame. ..Williams.. 04/29/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

Meager grass supplies, farmers hauling water in Iron, Kane counties in Utah

4 months 1 week ago
An Iron County ranch ran low on water and eventually had dry ponds. Cattle had to be moved to high elevation summer pastures one month early as grazing ran short, and plenty of neighbors were doing the same. Hopefully, the summer pastures will have adequate feed and water for the cattle, but livestock may need to be removed from the summer pastures early and fed hay. Spring streamflows in southwest Utah were expected to be less than 30% of average. Kane County producers were also hauling water and selling older cows because there wasn’t enough grass, according to an agricultural agent with Utah State University. Farmers were opting to be very frugal with water. KUER-FM 90.1 (Salt Lake City, Utah), April 28, 2025
