Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0125 PM CDT Thu May 08 2025



Valid 091200Z - 101200Z



...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



There is a chance of isolated mixed wet/dry thunderstorms in

portions of southern Minnesota into northwest Wisconsin along/ahead

of an approaching cold front. Fuels are in or entering the spring

dip in this area and could be receptive to lightning ignition.

However, precipitable water values are likely to be 0.8-1" with

dewpoints in the 50s, and lightning amounts could be minimal over

receptive fuels. Given the potential of hot, dry, and windy

conditions emerging Sunday into early next week, this area will

continue to be monitored. Otherwise, the forecast remains on track,

and please see the previous discussion.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1250 AM CDT Thu May 08 2025/



...Synopsis...

Fire weather potential appears limited for Friday across the

country. The upper trough currently across the central U.S. will

continue to meander east through the next 48 hours. This will bring

widespread rain chances to much of the MS/OH River Valleys and the

Southeast over the next two days. To the west, upper ridging will

favor drier conditions, but weak low-level winds should modulate the

potential for fire spread. Breezy and dry conditions may develop

through the Red River Valley of the North Friday afternoon after a

dry cold frontal passage, but confidence in sustained winds above

elevated thresholds (15 mph) during peak heating is too low to

warrant risk highlights.
