Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1151 AM CDT Fri Apr 25 2025



Valid 251700Z - 261200Z



...Day 1 Update...

Minor modifications were made to Elevated highlights across New

Mexico. Southeast surface winds are expected to persist today across

southeastern New Mexico, inhibiting drier downslope flow off the

Sacramento Mountains from mixing out the shallow moist layer in

place. A very dry boundary layer across the Southwest combined with

increasing southwest winds is still expected to bring elevated fire

weather conditions to far eastern Arizona and western New Mexico

where dry fuels/drought remains.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1244 AM CDT Fri Apr 25 2025/



...Synopsis...

As a mid-level trough approaches the U.S. west coast, and associated

southwest flow overspreads the Four Corners into the Great Basin,

dry and windy conditions are forecast across much of the southern

Rockies into the southern High Plains. 





...Central New Mexico into Far Eastern Arizona...

Relative humidity of 10-20% and 15-20 MPH winds are expected across

much of central and western New Mexico into eastern Arizona this

afternoon into the early evening, where current fuels guidance has

ERCs at or exceeding the 80th-90th annual percentiles. Some locally

Critical conditions may exist where local topography provides an

enhancement of surface winds.
