####018002270#### FNUS22 KWNS 061934 FWDDY2 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0133 PM CST Fri Feb 06 2026 Valid 071200Z - 081200Z ...High Plains... Downslope winds and unusually dry conditions are expected Saturday afternoon over parts of CO, WY western NE and northwest KS. RH below 20% and winds gusting to 20-30 mph are likely behind a lee trough amid unseasonably dry fuels. This will support Elevated fire-weather conditions for a few hours. Similar downslope enhanced winds and drying are expected farther south into parts of West TX and eastern NM. While winds will be somewhat weaker and more southerly, a few gusts to 20-25 mph and RH below 20% will still favor Elevated fire-weather conditions. ...FL... Mid-level subsidence on the back side of the departing eastern US trough will allow very dry mid-level air to move into parts of FL. While cooler surface temperatures are expected behind a departing surface cold front, mixing may allow RH values to fall below 20% during the day. Occasional gusts to 10-15 mph could support brief locally elevated fire-weather conditions Saturday afternoon across the Fl Peninsula. However, cooler surface temperatures and minimal overlap with dry fuels should preclude broader fire-weather concerns. ..Lyons.. 02/06/2026 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0139 AM CST Fri Feb 06 2026/ ...Synopsis... Predominantly upper ridging will prevail over the central U.S. tomorrow (Saturday). However, an embedded mid-level impulse will traverse the ridge over the central Rockies and overspread the central Plains by afternoon. Surface lee troughing will encourage dry downslope flow over portions of the Colorado/Wyoming border into western Nebraska, and northeast New Mexico into the northern Texas Panhandle by afternoon peak heating. Over both of these areas, 15+ mph sustained westerly surface winds should overlap with 25 percent RH for at least a few hours. Given the lack of recent precipitation over these areas, fuels should be dry enough to support some wildfire-spread potential, warranting the introduction of Elevated highlights. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
