U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0137 AM CST Mon Jan 26 2026
Valid 261200Z - 271200Z
...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns will be very low today across the CONUS.
Recent widespread winter precipitation and rainfall have improved
fuels across much of the central/southern Plains with fresh snow
pack extending into the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys. In
addition, an arctic air mass remains in place across much of the
CONUS. Overall, the cold and wet conditions will negate fire spread
potential across much of the US.
Dry conditions will be possible across the Florida Panhandle as dry
northwesterly flow increases behind the passing cold front. Relative
humidity reductions around 30-35% may briefly overlap winds 10-15
mph. Cooler temperatures behind the front and some light preceding
rainfall should limit broader fire weather concerns.

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0139 AM CST Mon Jan 26 2026
Valid 271200Z - 281200Z
...Synopsis...
Dry post-frontal northwesterly flow across the western Florida
peninsula will bring a period of Elevated fire weather concerns on
D2/Tuesday. Relative humidity reductions to 20-30% will overlap
sustained winds 10-15 mph. There is a chance for some precipitation
across the region on D1/Monday, however, this is expected to remain
light. An Elevated area was maintained across portions of the
western Florida peninsula where the best chances of windy/dry
conditions overlap most receptive fuels and lowest precipitation
potential.

U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
FNUS28 KWNS 252147
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0347 PM CST Sun Jan 25 2026
Valid 271200Z - 021200Z
...Synopsis...
A prevailing upper-level troughing pattern is expected to encompass
the eastern U.S. through the weekend. Surface high pressure across
the east and residual snowpack should keep cold temperatures and
relatively light winds in place through early next week. Upper-level
ridging across the western U.S. should support temperatures above
seasonal normals and mostly dry conditions across much of the
region, with the exception of the Pacific Northwest where
southwesterly flow brings a persistent influx of Pacific moisture
and precipitation through the week.
...Day 3/Tuesday - Florida...
A dry, post-frontal air mass should be in place across the FL
Peninsula on Day 3/Tuesday. Some precipitation associated with the
initial frontal passage on Day 2/Monday could briefly mitigate fire
weather concerns but probabilities of a wetting rainfall remain low
across central FL. The breezy north winds and dry conditions should
align with dry and drought stressed fuels to increase fire weather
concerns. A 40 percent critical probability area was introduced
where minimal rainfall is expected across the central/southwest
coastal portions of the FL Peninsula. Lingering dry conditions are
expected across FL through the week as surface high pressure
meanders across the Southeast with another potential dry cold front
by the weekend.
...Central High Plains...
Northwesterly flow aloft and lee surface troughing east of the
Rockies should support a relatively drier and warmer downslope
regime across the central High Plains at times through the weekend.
Fire weather concerns could increase closer to Day 7/Saturday as an
embedded mid-level short wave within increasing northwesterly flow
aloft reaches the southern Rockies, although uncertainty remains
high in timing of this next feature.
