Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1101 AM CST Thu Dec 11 2025 Valid 111700Z - 121200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... Locally elevated to locally critical winds/RH remain expected today in portions of eastern Colorado and southeast Wyoming. Some of those conditions already occurring at several stations along/east of the Front Range in Colorado into southeast Wyoming. 100/1000-hour fuels remain near to slightly above normal values and likely partly to mostly cloudy conditions may limit the receptiveness of 1/10-hour fuels. However, given the strength of the winds (gusts of 30-60 mph), fires in fine fuels cannot be ruled out. ..Nauslar.. 12/11/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1135 PM CST Wed Dec 10 2025/ ...Synopsis... Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low today. The pattern will favor high amplitude ridging across the western US and troughing across the eastern US. Westerly flow across the northern Rockies and surface troughing across the Plains will allow for some overlap of downslope flow with dry conditions across the central and southern High Plains. Across eastern Colorado into southeastern Wyoming, west-northwest sustained winds of 15-30 mph will overlap minimum RH of 15-30%. Across west Texas into central Oklahoma, areas of overlap of southwest sustained winds of 10-20 mph and minimum RH of 15-25% will be possible. Fuels across both of these regions remain marginal and are not receptive to large fire spread, which will preclude inclusion of any areas at this time. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...Read more
