Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0500 PM CDT Sat May 17 2025 Valid 191200Z - 251200Z An upper-level trough and associated mid-level wind maximum will contribute to ongoing elevated/critical fire weather conditions across portions of southern New Mexico/western Texas for Day 3/Monday. Residual precipitation and higher elevation snow within a cool, post frontal air mass will temporarily mitigate fire weather threat across the Intermountain West north of Interstate 40. Several upper-level embedded short waves should calm fire weather concerns across the Northern Rockies with several opportunities for precipitation through Day 8/Saturday. Dry conditions under a building ridge and suppressed surface pressure gradients will accompany rising temperatures across the Southwest, aiding in drying of fuels. ...Southwest... Persistent critical fire weather conditions are expected for Day 3/Monday across southern New Mexico and far western Texas as mid-level trough and associated jet eject into the Southern Plains. Efficient boundary layer mixing with minimal cloud cover ahead of a cold front will support strong sustained west winds of 20 mph, to locally 30 mph along with critically low relative humidity. Critical probabilities were expanded slightly eastward into west Texas. Overall fire weather conditions are expected to improve from Day 4/Tuesday into Day 8/Saturday across the Southwest. No large scale critical conditions are expected although above normal temperatures will develop as a result of the building upper-level ridge, drying fuels in areas that are already experiencing severe/extreme drought. ...Sacramento/Central Valley... Dry, post-frontal northerly winds of 15-20 mph with relative humidity falling into the 15-20 percent range will promote at least an elevated fire weather threat for Day 3/Monday across the Sacramento/Central Valley. Marginal fuel dryness precludes introduction of Critical probabilities at this time. ..Williams.. 05/17/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0500 PM CDT Sat May 17 2025 Valid 191200Z - 251200Z An upper-level trough and associated mid-level wind maximum will contribute to ongoing elevated/critical fire weather conditions across portions of southern New Mexico/western Texas for Day 3/Monday. Residual precipitation and higher elevation snow within a cool, post frontal air mass will temporarily mitigate fire weather threat across the Intermountain West north of Interstate 40. Several upper-level embedded short waves should calm fire weather concerns across the Northern Rockies with several opportunities for precipitation through Day 8/Saturday. Dry conditions under a building ridge and suppressed surface pressure gradients will accompany rising temperatures across the Southwest, aiding in drying of fuels. ...Southwest... Persistent critical fire weather conditions are expected for Day 3/Monday across southern New Mexico and far western Texas as mid-level trough and associated jet eject into the Southern Plains. Efficient boundary layer mixing with minimal cloud cover ahead of a cold front will support strong sustained west winds of 20 mph, to locally 30 mph along with critically low relative humidity. Critical probabilities were expanded slightly eastward into west Texas. Overall fire weather conditions are expected to improve from Day 4/Tuesday into Day 8/Saturday across the Southwest. No large scale critical conditions are expected although above normal temperatures will develop as a result of the building upper-level ridge, drying fuels in areas that are already experiencing severe/extreme drought. ...Sacramento/Central Valley... Dry, post-frontal northerly winds of 15-20 mph with relative humidity falling into the 15-20 percent range will promote at least an elevated fire weather threat for Day 3/Monday across the Sacramento/Central Valley. Marginal fuel dryness precludes introduction of Critical probabilities at this time. ..Williams.. 05/17/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more
