Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0250 PM CST Sun Jan 26 2025

Valid 281200Z - 031200Z

An upper-level low will linger across the western US through
D5/Thursday, bringing breezy conditions but also increasing
potential for precipitation. On D3/Tuesday across central South
Dakota and Nebraska, breezy and dry conditions will be possible as
the Great Lakes trough deepens with enhanced northwesterly flow
aloft moving out of Canada. Though downslope warming and drying are
forecast, latest guidance in this region suggests fuels are
marginal.

Later in the period next weekend, the upper-level low across the
western US will eject into the Plains, bringing potential for
windy/dry conditions across portions of the High Plains and Southern
Plains. This may favor periods of elevated fire-weather conditions,
particularly across southwestern and western Texas where freeze
cured grasses may support risk for fire spread. Elsewhere, marginal
fuels and chances for additional precipitation should limit the
potential for critical conditions.
