Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1133 AM CDT Wed Apr 23 2025



Valid 231700Z - 241200Z



...1630Z update...



Current and expected surface observations across the Florida

Peninsula suggest a more limited fire weather threat across the area

today. Fuels remain very dry with relative humidity expected to drop

into the 30-40 percent range this afternoon across the western

Florida Peninsula. However, stronger east-southeast winds associated

with the Atlantic sea breeze will coincide with a fairly rapid rise

in relative humidity with limited overlap of dry and breezy

conditions across western Florida. Therefore, Elevated highlights

were removed for this afternoon. 



Dry and breezy conditions remain across portions of the Southwest

with Elevated highlights remaining in place, although lighter than

expected winds prompted some trimming of Elevated highlights across

the Trans Pecos area.

...Synopsis...

A broad but weak cyclonic upper flow regime will overspread the

western CONUS as zonal flow aloft becomes established over the

Northern Plains to the Northeast today. An embedded mid-level

impulse will pivot around the cyclonic flow and track over the

southern High Plains by afternoon, with dry downslope flow

developing across southeast Arizona into Far West Texas as a

low-level mass response. 15 mph sustained southwesterly surface

winds amid 10-15 percent RH will promote conditions favorable for

wildfire-spread, with Elevated highlights introduced where fuels are

dry/unaffected by recent rainfall.



Meanwhile, dry and breezy conditions are likely across western parts

of the Florida Peninsula by afternoon peak heating. 10-15 mph

sustained southeasterly winds will coincide with 30-40 percent RH

atop dry fuels, warranting Elevated highlights.
