Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0153 AM CDT Wed Apr 23 2025
Valid 231200Z - 241200Z
...Synopsis...
A broad but weak cyclonic upper flow regime will overspread the
western CONUS as zonal flow aloft becomes established over the
Northern Plains to the Northeast today. An embedded mid-level
impulse will pivot around the cyclonic flow and track over the
southern High Plains by afternoon, with dry downslope flow
developing across southeast Arizona into Far West Texas as a
low-level mass response. 15 mph sustained southwesterly surface
winds amid 10-15 percent RH will promote conditions favorable for
wildfire-spread, with Elevated highlights introduced where fuels are
dry/unaffected by recent rainfall.
Meanwhile, dry and breezy conditions are likely across western parts
of the Florida Peninsula by afternoon peak heating. 10-15 mph
sustained southeasterly winds will coincide with 30-40 percent RH
atop dry fuels, warranting Elevated highlights.
