Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1058 AM CST Wed Dec 31 2025



Valid 311700Z - 011200Z



...Southeast and Florida...

Elevated highlights were removed for portions of southern GA and the

FL Panhandle as light winds less than 10 mph and marginal fuel

dryness limits a broader fire weather threat for this area. Elevated

highlights continue for the eastern FL Peninsula, much of GA and the

Carolinas as dry conditions with RH falling as low as 20-25 percent

this afternoon amid a dry continental air mass. See previous

discussion for more details.



...Central/Southern High Plains...

Dry, downslope flow continues across the southern and central High

Plains, supporting low relative humidity in the 15-25% range this

afternoon within the region. However, relatively weak northwest flow

aloft and a diffuse surface pressure gradient will present a more

localized elevated fire weather threat just leeward of the

central/southern Rockies this afternoon. West-northwest winds of 15

mph and RH dropping to around 15% are expected, but marginal fuel

dryness should limit a more substantial wildfire potential.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0113 AM CST Wed Dec 31 2025/



...Synopsis...

A pronounced mid-level trough will progress south-southeastward

while amplifying over the Northeast today, supporting surface

troughing along the East Coast as surface high pressure overspreads

the Midwest. Dry offshore flow should occur by afternoon peak

heating from the Carolinas to the Florida Peninsula. 10 mph

sustained northwesterly surface winds amid 25-35 percent RH will

encourage localized wildfire-spread potential amid dry fuels, with

Elevated highlights remaining in place. Surface lee troughing across

the Plains will encourage breezy downslope conditions along the

central and southern High Plains, though RH appears too high for

Elevated conditions at this time.
