Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0119 AM CDT Thu Mar 13 2025



Valid 131200Z - 141200Z



...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND

SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...



...Synopsis...

A potent mid-level trough will rapidly traverse the Southwest and

impinge on the southern Rockies today, encouraging rapid surface

cyclone development along the central High Plains. As this occurs,

isallobaric and downslope flow will encourage dry and windy

conditions across much of the central and southern High Plains that

will be conducive to wildfire-spread. By afternoon peak heating,

sustained 20-25 mph south-southwesterly surface winds will overlap

with 15-20 percent RH, atop drying fuels, from the South

Dakota/Nebraska border to Far West Texas, necessitating the

continuance of Elevated and Critical fire weather highlights.
