SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather OutlookSPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0154 PM CDT Fri Mar 20 2026
Valid 211200Z - 221200Z
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL TO EASTERN WYOMING...FAR NORTHWESTERN COLORADO...EXTREME WESTERN NEBRASKA...EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...
Much of the previous forecast remains on track based on the latest guidance consensus. Elevated highlights were expanded farther east toward the mid-Mississippi Valley region, where 15-25 percent RH, 15 mph sustained southwesterly surface winds, and highly receptive fuels, will overlap to support relatively robust wildfire spread potential. Elevated highlights were also trimmed from much of central Utah, where the latest guidance consensus has trended somewhat weaker with wind speeds, lessening the fire spread threat to a degree given marginally receptive fuels. Please see the previous forecast below for details on wildfire-spread potential across the Intermountain West to the central and southern Plains.
..Squitieri.. 03/20/2026
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0229 AM CDT Fri Mar 20 2026/
...Synopsis... A cold front will surge south through the northern/central Great Plains and northern Great Basin with a surface low developing southward in the lee of the Rockies. A widespread strengthening of surface winds ahead of this frontal system coupled with reduced RH values is forecast to support elevated to critical fire weather concerns from the southern/eastern Great Basin through the central Great Plains.
...Southern/eastern Great Basin to the central Great Plains... Forecast guidance continues to depict at least a temporary break down of the upper-level ridge centered over the Southwest on D2/Saturday as a shortwave trough crests the ridge and moves through the Pacific Northwest. Simultaneously, a surface low will develop southward in the lee of the Rockies while an associated cold front advances southward across much of the West and the Great Plains. The strongest sustained winds (20-30 mph) coupled with minimum RH values of 10-15% are forecast to support critical fire weather conditions across southeastern Wyoming and adjacent portions of western Nebraska, northwestern Colorado, extreme northeastern Utah, and extreme southwestern South Dakota. Modest westerly mid-level flow coupled with deep boundary layer mixing will also support the potential for occasional wind gusts of 30-35 mph across this area.
Elsewhere within the Elevated highlights, a strengthening surface pressure gradient ahead of this frontal system will support widespread sustained surface winds of 10-20 mph. With continuing potential for record warm temperatures across much of the West aiding in the drying of fine fuels and forecast RH values of 10-20% (locally down to 5%) during peak heating, widespread elevated fire weather conditions are expected from the southern/eastern Great Basin eastward to the central Great Plains and from portions of West Texas northward to Wyoming. While much of the high elevations of the central Rockies are within the Elevated area, fuel conditions and snow cover will preclude any fire weather concerns in those areas.
The southward moving cold front will then bring a shift to northerly winds for the central/northern High Plains and northern Great Basin. This front is anticipated to be dry, however, which may bring the potential for elevated fire weather conditions to temporarily persist after the frontal passage.
