   ...Synopsis...
   Broad troughing across the central US will continue to bring several
   rounds of precipitation from the Plains into portions of the Eastern
   US on Saturday. In addition, a cold arctic air mass will be in place
   across much of the CONUS. Fire concerns will remain minimal given
   widespread cold and wet conditions.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

   0345 PM CST Fri Jan 23 2026

   Valid 251200Z - 311200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   A long-wave trough will continue to translate eastward over much of
   the CONUS by D3/Sunday. An associated modified Arctic air-mass will
   encompass most of the central and eastern CONUS into D4/Monday,
   while precipitation shifts into the South, Mid Atlantic, and New
   England regions. Additional upper troughs are expected to dive
   southward out of central Canada throughout next week, with
   reinforcing cold air masses at the surface maintaining below average
   temperatures from the Rockies eastward. Further west, however, upper
   ridging is anticipated to briefly return to the Southwest and Great
   Basin before another Pacific trough moves onshore mid to late next
   week. Some precipitation may accompany this feature from CA
   northward into the Pacific Northwest.

   Generally, this pattern will keep fire weather concerns low to very
   low throughout the extended forecast especially across the eastern
   2/3 of the CONUS.
