CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA ... && ####018002220#### FNUS28 KWNS 202159 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0457 PM CDT Fri Jun 20 2025 Valid 221200Z - 281200Z Several periods of Elevated to near Critical fire weather conditions are possible as weak troughing remains across the western US through the period. A high amplitude ridge building across the eastern US will bring very warm temperatures and drying across much of the central/southern Plains into the East before precipitation potential returns late in the period. ...Day 3/Sunday... A cold front will move in across the Southwest and usher in cooler temperatures and higher relative humidity across much of the Great Basin on Day 3/Sunday. As a result, fire weather concerns will shift eastward into the Four Corners region. Farther west, dry northerly flow in the wake of a cold front will continue to support at least an Elevated fire weather threat across the California Central Valley and into portions of the Sierra Madre and San Rafael Mountains D3/Sunday. ...Day 4-5/Monday-Tuesday... An upper-level trough will persist over the western U.S. early next week, with occasional daytime elevated winds across portions of the Upper Colorado River Basin and northern Arizona. Dry and breezy conditions will persist, with dry fuels aiding in increased wildfire spread potential. Moisture will steadily increase into western New Mexico and southern Arizona as early as Day 4/Monday and D5/Tuesday. ...Day 6-8/Wednesday-Friday... The upper-level will weaken by mid-week with primarily weak mid and upper-level flow, leading to more localized terrain driven breezes. A shortwave late in the period may bring an increase in winds across the Snake River Plain in Idaho, with potential for highlights to be included if confidence increases. Monsoonal moisture will steadily increase across New Mexico. Dry thunderstorm threats may increase on the periphery of this deep moisture but confidence remains low, precluding introduction of dry thunderstorm probabilities at this time. ..Thornton.. 06/20/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
