Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0457 PM CDT Tue Apr 08 2025



Valid 101200Z - 161200Z



An amplifying mid-level trough will bring cooler temperatures and

precipitation to much of the eastern U.S. through day 4/Friday. A

strengthening high pressure ridge will promote potentially record

setting heat across portions of the southwest desert and

Intermountain regions beginning day 3/Thursday, lasting through the

weekend (day 5 and 6). Model guidance consensus remains good in

bringing an upper-level trough into the Pacific Northwest day

5/Saturday along with a subtropical jet component that should

promote widespread Elevated to Critical fire weather conditions

across the Desert Southwest on Saturday, spreading into the central

and southern high Plains Sunday. Forecast uncertainty increases

early next week but muted signals remain for at least some fire

weather threat across portions of the southern Plains.



...Day 5/Saturday - Day 6/Sunday: Desert Southwest and High

Plains...

Critical fire weather conditions are possible across a large

portions of the Desert Southwest on Day 5/Saturday in response to

the encroaching upper-level trough into the Pacific Northwest and

subtropical jet influence atop a very dry boundary layer and dry

fuels. An area of 40 percent Critical probabilities was introduced

for portions of southeast Arizona, where fuels will undergo several

more days of drying, into much of New Mexico and southern Colorado

for Saturday. Synoptically driven fire weather threat will continue

for New Mexico but shift further into the central High Plains and

front range of the Rockies as the trough translates eastward on day

6/Sunday.
