Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0255 PM CDT Wed Apr 02 2025



Valid 031200Z - 041200Z



Dry, breezy conditions are still anticipated under deep-layer

southwesterly flow across portions of southwestern New Mexico into

the southern High Plains. Given forecast antecedent light rainfall

across portions of western Texas and the Panhandle, and uncertainty

in eastward extent of dryline mixing, some trimming of the Elevated

fire weather highlights were made. Latest model guidance consensus

also supports a slight westward expansion of Elevated conditions

into central New Mexico within a dry fuel environment. 



Farther south, dry surface flow from northern Mexico should result

in Elevated fire weather conditions in the Texas Big Bend area, with

wind speeds approaching 20 mph amid 10 percent RH by the afternoon.

Therefore, Elevated highlights were introduced.

...Synopsis...

Strong deep-layer southwesterly flow will continue across the

southern Rockies and adjacent High Plains. In response to the

downslope flow and decreased static stability, a lee cyclone will

develop over southeast CO, with a dryline extending southward along

the southern High Plains. West of the dryline, 10-15 percent RH will

develop amid 15-20 mph sustained southwesterly surface winds --

yielding elevated to locally critical fire-weather conditions.
