   Valid 241700Z - 251200Z

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1143 PM CST Fri Jan 23 2026/

   ...Synopsis...
   Fire concerns will remain low today across the CONUS. A broad
   mid-level trough across the central US will continue to bring
   several rounds of precipitation from the Plains into portions of the
   Eastern US today. In addition, a cold arctic air mass will be in
   place across much of the CONUS. These widespread cold and wet
   conditions will reduce fire weather concerns and improve status of
   fuels.

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1247 PM CST Sat Jan 24 2026

   Valid 251200Z - 261200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low tomorrow (Day
   2/Sunday) due to extremely cold temperatures and recent wetting
   precipitation across much of the CONUS. Please see the previous
   discussion below for additional information regarding tomorrow's
   fire weather forecast.

   ..Elliott.. 01/24/2026

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1145 PM CST Fri Jan 23 2026/

   ...Synopsis...
   The pattern will continue to favor a broad trough across the Central
   US with an arctic air mass across much of the central/eastern CONUS.
   Widespread precipitation will continue from the central US into the
   southeast and eastern US. The extremely cold temperatures, snow
   pack, and recent wetting precipitation will keep fire concerns low
   for D2/Sunday.


U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 241949

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0149 PM CST Sat Jan 24 2026

   Valid 261200Z - 011200Z

   Persistent mid/upper-level troughing is expected to remain over the
   eastern 2/3 of the CONUS through the extended forecast, which will
   continue to reinforce below average temperatures along/east of the
   Rockies. Meanwhile, mid/upper-level ridging is forecast to return to
   the Southwest and Great Basin by Day 4/Tuesday before a series of
   Pacific troughs come onshore mid-to-late next week and into the
   weekend. Some wetting rainfall may accompany the troughs -
   especially across portions of the Pacific NW into northern
   California. 

   Overall, Critical fire weather concerns are forecast to remain low
   across much of the CONUS through at least Day 8/Saturday. The one
   exception might be across portions of the Florida Peninsula, where
   little antecedent precipitation is forecast along/ahead of a mostly
   dry cold front that is expected to move through the area Day
   3/Monday. A dry and breezy post-frontal regime is forecast to remain
   over the area through much of the week, which may promote periodic
   Elevated to locally Critical fire weather conditions, especially as
   fuels remain receptive owing to ongoing drought conditions. At this
   time, fire weather conditions appear too brief/spotty to introduce a
   40% Critical fire weather probability.
