Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0125 PM CDT Thu May 08 2025

Valid 091200Z - 101200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

There is a chance of isolated mixed wet/dry thunderstorms in
portions of southern Minnesota into northwest Wisconsin along/ahead
of an approaching cold front. Fuels are in or entering the spring
dip in this area and could be receptive to lightning ignition.
However, precipitable water values are likely to be 0.8-1" with
dewpoints in the 50s, and lightning amounts could be minimal over
receptive fuels. Given the potential of hot, dry, and windy
conditions emerging Sunday into early next week, this area will
continue to be monitored. Otherwise, the forecast remains on track,
and please see the previous discussion.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1250 AM CDT Thu May 08 2025/

...Synopsis...
Fire weather potential appears limited for Friday across the
country. The upper trough currently across the central U.S. will
continue to meander east through the next 48 hours. This will bring
widespread rain chances to much of the MS/OH River Valleys and the
Southeast over the next two days. To the west, upper ridging will
favor drier conditions, but weak low-level winds should modulate the
potential for fire spread. Breezy and dry conditions may develop
through the Red River Valley of the North Friday afternoon after a
dry cold frontal passage, but confidence in sustained winds above
elevated thresholds (15 mph) during peak heating is too low to
warrant risk highlights.
