Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1036 AM CST Sun Jan 25 2026
Valid 251700Z - 261200Z
...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
No changes to the Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook with minimal fire
weather concerns across CONUS. A dry, post frontal air mass has
infiltrated into much of the Desert Southwest, resulting in relative
humidity falling into the 10-15 percent range this afternoon across
the lower CO River Basin. However, a weakening surface pressure
gradient and reduced northerly winds through the day along with
marginal fuel dryness precludes introduction of highlights.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1136 PM CST Sat Jan 24 2026/
...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns will be mitigated by recent widespread
precipitation and cold conditions across the CONUS. The pattern will
continue to favor a broad trough across the Central US with an
arctic air mass across much of the central/eastern CONUS. Widespread
precipitation will continue from the central US into the southeast
and eastern US today with a large improvement in status of fuels
across the Southern Plains.

Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0149 PM CST Sat Jan 24 2026
Valid 261200Z - 011200Z
Persistent mid/upper-level troughing is expected to remain over the
eastern 2/3 of the CONUS through the extended forecast, which will
continue to reinforce below average temperatures along/east of the
Rockies. Meanwhile, mid/upper-level ridging is forecast to return to
the Southwest and Great Basin by Day 4/Tuesday before a series of
Pacific troughs come onshore mid-to-late next week and into the
weekend. Some wetting rainfall may accompany the troughs -
especially across portions of the Pacific NW into northern
California.
Overall, Critical fire weather concerns are forecast to remain low
across much of the CONUS through at least Day 8/Saturday. The one
exception might be across portions of the Florida Peninsula, where
little antecedent precipitation is forecast along/ahead of a mostly
dry cold front that is expected to move through the area Day
3/Monday. A dry and breezy post-frontal regime is forecast to remain
over the area through much of the week, which may promote periodic
Elevated to locally Critical fire weather conditions, especially as
fuels remain receptive owing to ongoing drought conditions. At this
time, fire weather conditions appear too brief/spotty to introduce a
40% Critical fire weather probability.
