SPC Fire Weather Outlooks highlight areas where critical fire-weather conditions (dry fuels + strong wind + low humidity) support dangerous fire spread. Day 1 = today through tonight; Day 2 = tomorrow.
Days 1-2 are SPC's operational fire outlooks: critical fire-weather areas (dry fuels + strong wind + low humidity). Day 1 = today through tonight; Day 2 = tomorrow.
🗓️ Days 3-8 fire outlooks (SPC experimental) + drought
The extended-range fire view: daily fire-weather probability graphics through day 8 plus the days 3-8 composite - watch these when a dry, breezy pattern is building. The US Drought Monitor (updated weekly) is the fuel-dryness context: drought areas are where any ignition burns hottest and longest.
