U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   ZCZC SPCFWDDY1 ALL
   FNUS21 KWNS 121722

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1222 PM CDT Sat Jul 12 2025

   Valid 121700Z - 131200Z

   ...Eastern Montana...
   Enhanced northwesterly mid-level flow coinciding with the passage of
   a surface trough and associated tightening pressure gradient will
   support breezy northwest winds of 15-25 mph today across portions of
   eastern Montana this afternoon. Daytime relative humidity as low as
   15 percent combined with the steady northwest wind will present an
   elevated fire weather threat amid dry fuels across the area.

   ..Williams.. 07/12/2025

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1217 AM CDT Sat Jul 12 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   High pressure across the western US will continue to keep winds
   mainly light and terrain driven where fuels are the driest Saturday.
   Moisture will increase across west-central Colorado, with PWs
   approaching 0.60-0.75". A mix of initially dry/wet thunderstorms
   will be possible, though the dry thunderstorm risk should remain too
   localized to include areas with this outlook.
      

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDDY2 ALL
   FNUS22 KWNS 121950

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0250 PM CDT Sat Jul 12 2025

   Valid 131200Z - 141200Z

   ...Columbia Basin...
   Westerly downslope winds and drying east of the Cascades will bring
   elevated fire weather conditions to the Columbia Basin Sunday amid
   dry fuels, with stronger sustained winds of up to 20 mph
   concentrated through the Cascade gaps. 

   ...Northern CA/Southern OR/central ID...
   A subtle mid-level short wave trough along with strong daytime
   heating but marginal instability over the higher terrain will
   support a few showers and thunderstorms across northern California
   into south-central OR Sunday afternoon. Farther northeast, another
   weak mid-level short wave trough could bring few high-based
   showers/thunderstorms over higher terrain of central Idaho. Coverage
   of thunderstorms will be quite sparse with weak forcing and limited
   mid-level moisture, limiting threat of dry lightning ignitions
   across central ID.

   ..Williams.. 07/12/2025

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1218 AM CDT Sat Jul 12 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   A mid-level shortwave will move across the periphery of the western
   ridge on Sunday. This will bring an increase in westerly winds
   across the Cascades in central Washington and Oregon. Winds will
   largely remain Elevated (at around 10-15 mph) but some locally
   Critical conditions will be possible in the Cascade gaps. Fuels in
   this region are critically dry, with ERCs exceeding the 90th
   percentile for dryness.


U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 122159

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0459 PM CDT Sat Jul 12 2025

   Valid 141200Z - 201200Z

   ...Days 3-5/Monday-Wednesday...
   A mid-level trough descending southeastward from British Columbia
   will bring increasing fire weather concerns to portions of the
   Northwestern U.S. and Great Basin early next week. Accelerating
   winds ahead a strong cold front, low daytime relative humidity and
   dry fuels will increase wildfire spread potential across the
   Columbia Basin and Snake River Plain on Day 3/Monday, with overall
   fire weather threat shifting into the Great Basin by Day 4/Tuesday.
   The resulting back door cold front and north-northeast pressure
   gradient could also bring a period of weak offshore flow to the
   coastal ranges of OR Day 4-5/Tuesday-Wednesday, but some lingering
   model uncertainty in wind magnitude precludes introduction of
   critical probabilities at this time. Farther east, wetting rains and
   cooler temperatures associated with the trough and cold front should
   mitigate fire weather concerns across much of Montana Day 4/Tuesday.


   ...Day 6-8/Thursday-Saturday...
   A mid-level low near Baja California along with a general rebuilding
   of the ridge across the Western U.S. could aid in ushering in deeper
   monsoon moisture into portions of the Southwest and Great Basin for
   the latter portion of the week. Considerable ensemble spread in
   moisture plume evolution limits confidence in isolating dry
   thunderstorm threat for now.
