U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1006 AM CST Tue Jan 27 2026

   Valid 271700Z - 281200Z

   The previous forecast (see below) remains on track.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0149 AM CST Tue Jan 27 2026/

   ...Synopsis...
   Dry post-frontal northwesterly flow across the southern Florida
   Peninsula will bring a period of Elevated fire concerns today.
   Relative humidity reductions to around 20-25% will overlap with
   sustained northwesterly flow around 10-15 mph. Fuels in this region
   are critically dry with ongoing drought conditions. The frontal
   passage did bring some rainfall across portions of the peninsula but
   little to no rainfall occurred across the far southern west coast,
   where the Elevated was maintained with this outlook.
      

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDDY2 ALL
   FNUS22 KWNS 271740

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1140 AM CST Tue Jan 27 2026

   Valid 281200Z - 291200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   The previous forecast remains on track. Dry, occasionally breezy
   northwesterly surface flow is still expected across the Florida
   Peninsula, which may promote brief periods of localized
   wildfire-spread potential. Still, the surface winds appear too weak
   for the inclusion of Elevated highlights at this time, though this
   may change in future outlooks if a stronger surface wind field
   becomes evident.

   ..Squitieri.. 01/27/2026

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0150 AM CST Tue Jan 27 2026/

   ...Synopsis...
   Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low on D2/Wednesday. A
   cool and dry air mass will remain in place across much of the CONUS,
   with extensive snow pack reaching from the Southern Plains into
   portions of the Northeast. Overall, the recent cold and wet pattern
   has improved status of fuels in many areas. Some dry conditions will
   continue across southern Florida but winds should be lighter,
   precluding the need to include any areas.


U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 272156

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0356 PM CST Tue Jan 27 2026

   Valid 291200Z - 041200Z

   A generally broad northwesterly flow regime will remain in place
   over the CONUS through the middle of next week, with multiple
   embedded impulses poised to amplify across the northern Plains and 
   approach the Atlantic coastline through the extended period. This
   particular upper-air pattern will reinforce surface high pressure
   and an associated sub-freezing airmass across much of the CONUS east
   of the Rockies Days 3-8 (Thursday through next Tuesday). Fire
   weather spread conditions should be limited over most locales, with
   the Florida Peninsula being a possible exception later in the
   extended period. Around Days 6-7/Sunday-Monday, a cold front should
   surge southeast across the Florida Peninsula, with dry and windy
   conditions possible in the post-frontal airmass. At the moment, some
   disagreement exists regarding how dry/windy these conditions may
   become between medium-range guidance members. If greater agreement
   in dry/windy conditions becomes apparent in future runs, 40 percent
   Critical probabilities may be needed in future outlooks (assuming no
   appreciable rainfall happens in advance).
