1036 AM CST Tue Dec 30 2025



Valid 301700Z - 311200Z



...Western Oklahoma and Northwest Texas...

Lee surface trough development across the central High Plains will 

initiate a swath of modest southwest flow of up to 15 mph across

eastern TX to the lower MO River Valley. Temperatures will quickly

rise into the 50s to near 60 across western OK/northwestern TX under

clear skies. Although winds be marginal in terms of speed, current

surface dewpoints in the low teens to below 10F in some areas in

western OK (supporting 15-25% afternoon RH), longer term rainfall

deficits amid expanding drought, along with dry fuels and above

normal fuel loading across this region will enhance fire danger this

afternoon. Only minor changes to the current Elevated highlights

were needed.



...Southeast and Florida...

An elevated fire weather threat remains across the Southeast and FL

amid a dry, post frontal regime. Northwest winds of 10-15 mph

aligned with minimum relative humidity in the 25-35% range should

allow for several hours of elevated fire weather conditions

primarily across GA and FL through the afternoon. Warmer

temperatures in the 60s across southern FL could support relative

humidity closer to 20% this afternoon with dry, parallel peninsular

flow in place. Thus, elevated highlights were maintained across the

Southeast and FL today.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1247 AM CST Tue Dec 30 2025/



...Synopsis...

A broad mid-level trough will prevail along the East Coast, with

broad northwesterly flow aloft expected to overspread much of the

central U.S. today. Embedded mid-level impulses pivoting around the

upper trough will encourage multiple southeastward surges of surface

high pressure east of the Mississippi River, with lee troughing

expected across the High Plains. Modest downslope flow along the

central and southern High Plains will promote low-end Elevated

conditions across western Oklahoma into northwestern Texas, where

localized wildfire spread will be possible given dry fuels. Offshore

flow due to the aforementioned surface high pressure surges will

continue to support dry, occasionally breezy conditions across

portions of the Southeast into the FL Peninsula, where low-end

Elevated highlights remain in place.
