Forecasters from the National Weather Service have identified Friday as a critical day for dangerous fire weather across the southern Great Plains and parts of the Southwest and Midwest. A powerful storm will bring strong winds and dry air to eastern New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri, creating conditions conducive to rapid wildfire spread. Wind gusts could exceed 90 miles per hour, particularly in a corridor stretching from north Texas to central Oklahoma and southeast Kansas. The Storm Prediction Center warns of extremely critical conditions, heightened fire risk, and the potential for isolated dry thunderstorms that could ignite wildfires due to lightning.
Conditions for wildfires across the southern Great Plains and parts of the Southwest are expected to be critically dangerous this week, with gusty winds and dry air amplifying risks.
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a rare extreme fire risk designation for Friday, foreseeing potential wildfire outbreaks across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri.
