   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   The previous forecast (see below) remains on track. Dry northerly
   surface winds will persist across the Florida Peninsula. While such
   conditions favor localized wildfire-spread potential, wind speeds
   should be too weak for widespread, significant fire weather
   conditions, so fire weather highlights are not currently needed.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0140 AM CST Wed Jan 28 2026/

   ...Synopsis...
   A shortwave trough will move across the central Rockies on
   D2/Thursday, with a surface low developing across eastern Colorado.
   A mostly dry cold front will shift southward across the Southern
   Plains. Some period of increasing surface wind (first from the south
   becoming west and northwest as the front passes) will be possible.
   Temperatures will remain cool, with another reinforcing shot of cold
   arctic air behind the front. The continued cool conditions in
   addition to snow pack and generally wet fuels should keep fire
   concerns low.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

   0252 PM CST Wed Jan 28 2026

   Valid 301200Z - 051200Z

   A series of mid-level shortwave troughs will cross the northern
   Plains toward the southeast Atlantic Coastline through the middle of
   next week as they traverse a broader northwesterly upper flow
   regime. As a result, a series of surface high pressure surges will
   reinforce a near to sub-freezing airmass over much of the CONUS,
   particularly from the Mississippi River and points east, limiting
   wildfire spread concerns over most locales. Dry and occasionally
   breezy conditions may develop on occasion over portions of the
   Florida Peninsula and central/southern High Plains. However, the
   anticipated conditions would likely only support localized wildfire
   spread, precluding Critical probabilities this outlook.
