Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1136 AM CDT Wed Apr 30 2025



Valid 301700Z - 011200Z



Offshore flow within a dry, post-frontal air mass will continue

across the Mid-Atlantic region today. Fuels remain particularly dry

across a corridor from the Delmarva Peninsula to Connecticut where

rainfall was minimized associated with yesterday's cold front.

Northwest winds of 10-15 mph and relative humidity dropping 30

percent this afternoon over dry fuels supported addition Elevated

highlights. Otherwise, forecast for West Texas and Florida remains

on track (see below), with elevated fire weather conditions expected

today.

...Synopsis...

A low-latitude midlevel trough will cross the southern Rockies and

adjacent High Plains during the day. Within the base of the trough,

moderate-strong deep-layer westerly flow will overspread a deeply

mixed post-dryline air mass across southeast NM into the

Trans-Pecos. Sustained westerly surface winds around 20 mph coupled

with 10 percent RH will favor elevated to locally critical

fire-weather conditions. 



Farther east, breezy easterly surface winds (around 10-15 mph) will

develop amid 30 percent RH across parts of southern and central FL

during the afternoon -- along the southwestern periphery of the

Bermuda High. Given dry/receptive fuels, elevated fire-weather

conditions are expected.



Dry/offshore flow is expected across parts of the Northeast and

Mid-Atlantic states today, which may promote locally elevated

fire-weather conditions. However, a modest pressure gradient and

marginal surface winds (around 10-15 mph) should generally limit the

fire-weather risk.
