Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0353 PM CDT Sun Mar 30 2025 Valid 011200Z - 071200Z Broad mid-level troughing will prevail across the central CONUS through much of week. A pronounced mid-level impulse will traverse the south-central U.S. Days 3-4 (Tuesday-Wednesday), resulting in surface cyclone development over the Plains. On Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, downslope and isallobaric westerly surface flow will support critically dry and windy conditions across the southern High Plains, with rapid wildfire-spread potential likely. Through the remainder of the week, dry and occasionally breezy conditions will exist across the southern High Plains as surface lee troughing persists, before a cold front surges across the southern CONUS by the weekend. ...Days 3-4 (Tuesday-Wednesday) - Southern High Plains... An 80 kt mid-level jet streak will overspread the southern Rockies, supporting the development of a 986 mb surface cyclone over Kansas, with a strong westerly surface wind field overspreading the southern High Plains. Dangerous wildfire-spread conditions will be most prevalent on Tuesday, where broad Critical probabilities are in place. High-end Critical meteorological surface conditions (i.e. 25-35 mph sustained westerly surface winds coinciding with 10-15 percent RH) will become common west of a dryline associated with the surface low. Locally Extremely Critical conditions are possible. On Wednesday, Critically dry and windy conditions will persist across New Mexico into far western Texas, where 70% Critical highlights remain in place. Fuels are receptive to wildfire spread across portions of New Mexico into western Texas. The most dangerous wildfire-spread potential will exist with fuel beds that are experiencing appreciable fuel loading. ..Squitieri.. 03/30/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0353 PM CDT Sun Mar 30 2025 Valid 011200Z - 071200Z Broad mid-level troughing will prevail across the central CONUS through much of week. A pronounced mid-level impulse will traverse the south-central U.S. Days 3-4 (Tuesday-Wednesday), resulting in surface cyclone development over the Plains. On Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, downslope and isallobaric westerly surface flow will support critically dry and windy conditions across the southern High Plains, with rapid wildfire-spread potential likely. Through the remainder of the week, dry and occasionally breezy conditions will exist across the southern High Plains as surface lee troughing persists, before a cold front surges across the southern CONUS by the weekend. ...Days 3-4 (Tuesday-Wednesday) - Southern High Plains... An 80 kt mid-level jet streak will overspread the southern Rockies, supporting the development of a 986 mb surface cyclone over Kansas, with a strong westerly surface wind field overspreading the southern High Plains. Dangerous wildfire-spread conditions will be most prevalent on Tuesday, where broad Critical probabilities are in place. High-end Critical meteorological surface conditions (i.e. 25-35 mph sustained westerly surface winds coinciding with 10-15 percent RH) will become common west of a dryline associated with the surface low. Locally Extremely Critical conditions are possible. On Wednesday, Critically dry and windy conditions will persist across New Mexico into far western Texas, where 70% Critical highlights remain in place. Fuels are receptive to wildfire spread across portions of New Mexico into western Texas. The most dangerous wildfire-spread potential will exist with fuel beds that are experiencing appreciable fuel loading. ..Squitieri.. 03/30/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Valid 301927Z - 302100Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 70 continues. SUMMARY...Supercells moving into southern Illinois will pose a threat for tornadoes (possibly strong) and large to very-large hail. DISCUSSION...Storms in and moving into southern Illinois have so far remained discrete. Regional VAD data suggest that this region remains favorable for low-level rotation in supercells. As long as storms remain discrete, which is not certain given the cold front moving southeastward, there will be a threat for a tornado (possibly strong) and large to very-large hail. ..Wendt.. 03/30/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
