Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0238 PM CDT Mon May 05 2025



Valid 061200Z - 071200Z



...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



Locally elevated fire weather conditions, particularly along leeward

terrain features across far western Texas, are still expected

Tuesday afternoon. However, widespread fire weather threat should be

limited as surface pressure gradients weaken, flow aloft relaxes,

and a mid-level trough translates eastward into the Southern Plains.

See previous discussion below for more information.

...Synopsis...

Fire weather potential appears limited for Tuesday across the

country. Residual dry/windy conditions are possible across parts of

southwest TX and far southern NM as a westerly downslope flow regime

becomes established with the eastward departure of a deepening

surface low. Elevated fire weather conditions will be possible,

especially on the leeward side of more prominent terrain features

where downslope winds and drying may be enhanced. While most

solutions agree on the general flow regime, disparity in the wind

speed forecast among deterministic models and ensemble guidance

limits confidence in the potential for a sustained fire weather

threat.
