NOAA Information on Fire Weather
- Critical Fire Weather Areas
There are critical fire weather areas for portions of southern Nevada, an extreme edge of eastern California, and much of northern Arizona today. - Monday's Critical Fire Conditions
A critical fire weather area is in effect for south and south-central New Mexico, into far southwest Texas. - Saturday's Critical Fire Conditions
A critical fire weather area is in effect for southern and eastern New Mexico, extreme southeastern Colorado, southwestern Kansas, the western Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles, and parts of far West Texas. - Critical Fire Conditions for Friday
Critical Fire Weather Conditions are expected during the afternoon for northeast Arizona. Southwest wind speeds near 20-25 MPH with some higher gusts are forecast. As temperatures warm into the 70s and 80s, deep boundary layer mixing will occur, aiding in surface drying, and RH values from 10-15 percent are expected to be widespread. - Fire Weather for Thursday
There is a critical fire weather area for northern Arizona extending to southern Nevada today. Wildfires continue in California, Montana, Wisconsin and Minnesota. - Fire Weather Danger
There will be strong winds and high fire danger for the northern plains areas Monday and Tuesday. - Critical Fire Weather for Thursday
There is a critical fire weather area today reaching from southern California and far southern Nevada, to central and northern Arizona. - Critical Fire Weather for Sunday
A critical fire weather area is in effect for the southern High Plains, far southwestern Oklahoma, and southern and central New Mexico. - Critical Fire Weather for Tuesday
A critical fire weather area is in effect for portions of west Texas and southeastern New Mexico today. - Critical Fire Weather for Sunday
Downslope enhanced warming within an antecedent dry air mass will result in daytime temperatures peaking in the upper 80s to lower 90s, yielding relative humidity values ranging from 8-12 percent. Given below normal rainfall observed over the past few months, low-end critical fire weather conditions appear probable for portions of southern New Mexico and West Texas. - Critical Fire Weather for Saturday
High sustained afternoon winds of 20 MPH, relative humidity values near 15 percent and dry fuels are expected to create low-end Critical Fire Weather Conditions for southern New Mexico and far West Texas. - Critical Fire Conditions for Friday
A strengthening surface pressure gradient will result in sustained afternoon southwesterly/west-southwesterly surface wind speeds around 20 MPH with gusts near 30 MPH. This along with afternoon relative humidity values around 15 percent will result in critical fire weather conditions for eastern New Mexico, western Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles southeastern Colorado and far southwestern Kansas. - Fire Weather Area in Florida
There is a critical fire weather area in central Florida today. This is due to the conditions and mostly dry fuels being available. - Critical Fire Conditions for Sunday
Highs in the 70s with dewpoints in the upper teens in will result in RH values in the low teens. A strong surface pressure gradient will also support northerly winds around 20 MPH with gusts over 30 MPH throughout the late morning and early afternoon. These conditions will result in Critical Fire Weather Conditions across much of South Texas. - Critical Fire Conditions for Saturday
A Critical Fire Weather Area is in effect for southeastern Arizona, southern/central New Mexico, central/southwestern Texas Panhandle and West Texas. A very dry continental airmass over the Great Basin is expected to result in RH values dropping below 15 percent during the late morning with a continued decrease into the single digits by the early afternoon. Strong westerly winds from 25 to 35 MPH with gusts over 45 MPH are possible. These meteorological conditions will result in a high-end Critical Fire Weather Threat over the Southern High Plains. - Friday's Critical Fire Conditions
Relative humidity values around 15 percent, highs in the upper 60s to upper 70s, and winds around 20 MPH with gusts over 35 MPH in conjunction with dry fuels will promote a Critical Fire Weather Risk for far western Texas southern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. - Critical Fire Weather for Thursday
There is a critical fire weather outlook today for southern and eastern New Mexico and western Texas. - Wednesday's Critical Fire Conditions
A very dry airmass will move into Florida with temperatures only expected to rise into the 60s during the afternoon. Relative humidity values of 25-35 percent should develop during peak heating with sustained wind speeds of 15-20 MPH. Given the presence of these conditions combined with long-term drought, have introduced a Critical Area over the northern and central Florida Peninsula. - Tuesday's Fire Weather
A critical Fire Weather area is outlined for South Texas today. Although humidity will be low, the lowest humidity will occur after the time of the maximum winds. Fuels remain very dry across the area and the main threat today will be the very strong northerly winds. - Sunday's Critical Fire Conditions
A tightening surface pressure gradient and strengthening low-level southwesterly winds will likely result in sustained surface winds averaging around 20 MPH during the afternoon. This will be juxtaposed with temperatures warming into the lower 70s supporting Relative Humidity values from 15-20 percent. Given below-normal precipitation in this region over the past few months amidst long-term drought, setup should yield a low-end Critical Fire Weather threat for the Big Country of northwest Texas. - Saturday's Critical Fire Conditions
A critical fire weather area is in effect for eastern New Mexico, far western Texas, the western Oklahoma Panhandle, and part of southeastern Colorado. - Thursday's Critical Fire Conditions
A critical fire weather area has been declared for southern Texas where red flag warnings have also been issued. - Critical Fire Conditions for Monday
Offshore flow will persist across the coastal ranges and foothills of Southern California, with locally gusty northeasterly winds expected. Winds of 20-25 MPH with gusts to 40 MPH, relative humidity values falling to near 15 percent and temperatures into the upper 60s/lower 70s are expected. These conditions will favor a low-end Critical Fire Weather threat. - Critical Fire Conditions in Southern California
A critical fire weather area has been declared for the coastal ranges and foothills of Southern California.
