SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0308 PM CDT Sun May 18 2025 Valid 201200Z - 261200Z Mainly zonal flow will overspread the western and central CONUS through at least mid-week, before upper ridging sets in by the end of the week and a mid-level trough traverses the Interior West this weekend. Surface high pressure should overspread much of the western and central CONUS through the week, with surface lee troughing and accompanying moisture return likely across the Plains states by this weekend as the upper trough approaches. The net result will be quiescent fire weather conditions across much of the CONUS for the week. Warm and dry conditions will prevail across the Southwest into the weekend, which will encourage further curing of fuels. At the moment, there is some disagreement among medium-range guidance members concerning the timing and evolution of the weekend upper trough. As such, confidence in the placement and timing of overlapping dry and windy conditions across the Southwest is too low for the introduction of Critical probabilities at this time. However, if the medium-range guidance comes into better consensus for dry/windy conditions atop drying fuels, Critical probabilities may eventually be needed. ..Squitieri.. 05/18/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
