Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1142 AM CDT Mon Apr 14 2025



Valid 141700Z - 151200Z



Ongoing elevated surface winds from the northwest of 15-25 mph

within a dry post-frontal air mass will still result in Elevated

fire weather conditions for parts of Central Plains today. Localized

Critical fire weather conditions could develop where cloud cover

remains minimal across central Nebraska as relative humidity drops

into the 15-20% range this afternoon. However, a widespread Critical

fire weather threat is not expected.

...Synopsis...

Strong surface winds are expected in the wake of a cold front across

the northern/central Plains today. These strong winds will persist

into at least early afternoon. Thereafter, winds will steadily

diminish. Despite a tendency for cooler temperatures to filter into

the region, modest downslope flow and surface heating should allow

temperatures to remain in the 50s/low 60s F. RH values of 20-30% are

probable. Winds of 15-25 mph are expected. The most favorable

overlap of these conditions are expected in parts of far southwest

South Dakota, Nebraska, and far northern Kansas. Elevated to locally

critical fire weather conditions will occur for a few hours this

afternoon. Models have quite a bit variance in the location and

duration of sustained critical conditions. This is likely due to

uncertainties in low/mid-level clouds that will eventually move into

Nebraska. This precludes the addition of the critical highlight at

this time.
