Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0237 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025



Valid 251200Z - 261200Z



Slight modifications were made to the existing Elevated fire weather

threat area across portions of southeastern Arizona into New Mexico.

Residual outflow boundary moisture from convection expected this

afternoon across the Southern High Plains combined with

south-southeast flow should keep fire weather threat limited across

southeastern New Mexico. Therefore, Elevated highlights for Friday

were trimmed for this area.

...Synopsis...

A mid-level trough will slowly advance eastward across the Southwest

while another mid-level trough amplifies over the Great Lakes

tomorrow (Friday). Surface cyclone development is possible across

portions of the Great Basin Friday afternoon, encouraging warm and

dry southerly flow across eastern Arizona into central and southern

New Mexico. Sustained 15-20 mph southerly surface winds will

coincide with 15 percent RH and overspread dry fuels for several

hours, warranting the introduction of Elevated highlights. 



Dry conditions will also persist across portions of the

Mid-Atlantic. While the surface wind field is expected to be too

weak on a widespread basis to justify Elevated highlights, locally

breezy conditions overspreading dry fuel beds will exacerbate any

localized wildfire-spread potential that exists.
