U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   ZCZC SPCFWDDY1 ALL
   FNUS21 KWNS 200745

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0145 AM CST Tue Jan 20 2026

   Valid 201200Z - 211200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   A low-amplitude shortwave trough and accompanying speed maximum will
   cross the central Rockies during the afternoon, while an attendant
   surface low tracks south-southeastward along the northern/central
   High Plains. Related downslope flow will yield 10-15 percent RH
   across much of the central High Plains, where around 20 mph
   sustained northwesterly surface winds (with higher gusts) are
   expected. These dry/windy conditions will favor elevated to locally
   critical fire-weather conditions over northeastern CO, southwestern
   NE, and northwest KS. A separate corridor of elevated fire-weather
   conditions is expected in the lee of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains
   in southern CO, with locally critical conditions possible within the
   gap flow areas. Between these two corridors, recent snowfall should
   limit fire-weather concerns. 

   Elsewhere, modestly breezy northeasterly surface winds are expected
   amid a dry antecedent air mass across parts of the western and
   central FL Peninsula, where locally elevated fire-weather conditions
   are possible.

U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 192141

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0341 PM CST Mon Jan 19 2026

   Valid 211200Z - 271200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   Reduced fire weather concerns are expected across CONUS through
   early next week. An arctic air mass intrusion begins Day 4/Thursday
   across the Northern Plains as upper-level troughing impinges on
   coastal California. The upper-level trough moves into the Southwest
   and Southern Plains by Day 5/Friday, interacting with deeper Gulf
   moisture to support expansive precipitation across much of the
   Southern U.S. through the weekend as the trough translates eastward.
   The lingering cold and stable air mass across the eastern U.S. along
   with likely widespread rain and potential snow over much of the
   Southern U.S. should mitigate the overall fire weather threat
   through early next week.
