Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0354 PM CST Tue Dec 09 2025

Valid 111200Z - 171200Z

Upper-level ridging is likely to continue over the West with mostly
upper-level troughing over the Great Lakes, Northeast, and into the
Southeast through the weekend. Weak upper lows may traverse through
the ridge across the southern half of the West late this weekend
into early next week. Much of the Southwest, southern/central
Plains, and west/north Texas are likely to receive little to no
precipitation during the forecast period. 

While downslope flow with lee troughing will enhance at times during
the forecast period, including on Day 3/Thursday and over the
weekend, on portions of the southern/central High Plains. However,
probabilities of elevated/critical winds/RH overlapping areas with
receptive fuels remain too low to include probabilities.

Portions of the Southeast will receive little to no rainfall during
the forecast period. Additionally, multiple dry cold frontal
passages with dry airmasses filtering in behind are expected for the
Southeast over the next week. However, recent rainfall and weak
winds will mitigate fire weather concerns.
