Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1120 AM CDT Sat Sep 27 2025 Valid 271700Z - 281200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... No changes are needed to the current D1 Fire Weather Outlook. See previous discussion below for more information. ..Thornton.. 09/27/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0101 AM CDT Sat Sep 27 2025/ ...Synopsis... Fire weather concerns appear limited for today across the country. Weak upper troughs over the lower CO River Valley and the Southeast evident in water-vapor imagery will meander across the Southwest and southeastern states (respectively) for today, maintaining isolated to scattered rain/thunderstorm chances. Across the northern Plains, early-morning surface observations show high pressure building across the region in the wake of a cold frontal passage. Breezy winds on the northwestern periphery of the surface high are anticipated across eastern MT and across the western Dakotas. Based on latest ensemble guidance, wind speeds should generally remain in the 10-15 mph range. Gusts upwards of 20-25 mph seem possible amid somewhat deep mixing within a downslope flow regime. While a few areas may see periods of elevated fire weather conditions, the overall signal for prolonged and/or widespread elevated conditions remains too limited for highlights. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
