SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0141 AM CDT Sat Oct 18 2025 Valid 181200Z - 191200Z ...Synopsis... A trough will shift into the Plains today, with a surface cold front moving southward into the southern Plains through the day. As forcing for ascent increases with the upper-level wave this morning, elevated shower and thunderstorm activity will be possible across portions of western Texas into central Oklahoma. Best chance for wetting rainfall is expected across portions of central/eastern Oklahoma into north-central Texas, with less forecast for portions of the Texas Panhandle into western Oklahoma. Across this region, Elevated fire weather concerns may emerge by the afternoon ahead of an approaching cold front. With the frontal passage, cooler northerly winds will usher in higher relative humidity. Should more appreciable rainfall occur, the Elevated area may need to be reduced. ..Thornton.. 10/18/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
