Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1250 AM CDT Thu May 08 2025

Valid 081200Z - 091200Z

...Synopsis...
Elevated fire weather conditions are expected this afternoon across
portions of western North Dakota. 05 UTC surface analysis shows a
surface low developing in the lee of the Canadian Rockies, which
will track to the east through the day. Southerly winds are forecast
to increase to 15-20 mph across ND ahead of a southeastward moving
cold front out of MT and Saskatchewan. Although isolated to
scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected along this boundary
by early evening, there should be a 3-4 hour wind during the
afternoon with warm temperatures in the low/mid 80s, RH values in
the low 20s, and breezy conditions. Although spring green up is
underway, dead grasses remain across the fuel landscape and are
sufficiently dry to carry large fires (as evidenced by a couple of
large fires in recent days across western ND). Similar wind/RH
conditions could develop along the MT/Canadian border within the
post-frontal regime, but wetting rainfall over the past three days
has likely mitigated fuel status for the time being. Elsewhere
across the country, widespread rain chances and weak gradient winds
will limit additional fire weather concerns.
