   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1135 PM CST Thu Jan 29 2026/

   ...Synopsis...
   Fire weather concerns will be minimal across the CONUS today.
   Surface high pressure and colder air will filter into areas east of
   the Divide. Upper-level ridging will be maintained in the West, but
   lack of stronger wind fields and receptive fuels will limit concerns
   there.
      

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDDY2 ALL
   FNUS22 KWNS 301927

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0127 PM CST Fri Jan 30 2026

   Valid 311200Z - 011200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Southern Georgia and North Florida...
   A strong cold front behind a rapidly deepening low just off the
   Carolina Coast will move through the FL Peninsula Saturday. Although
   breezy northwest winds of 15-20 mph are expected, a lack of
   widespread RH reductions below 35%, considerably colder temperatures
   as well as effects from recent precipitation along the FL/GA border
   will limit a more widespread fire weather threat across the area.

   ..Williams.. 01/30/2026

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1136 PM CST Thu Jan 29 2026/

   ...Synopsis...
   A strong upper trough will continue to pivot through the Southeast
   on Saturday. A low pressure system will deepen off the East Coast.
   While fuels will continue to dry in the West where upper level
   ridging will be present, surface high pressure/cold air should
   greatly limit fire weather concerns for most areas with drier fuels.

   ...Southern Georgia into North Florida...
   With a low pressure system deepening off the Mid-Atlantic coast,
   stronger surface winds will develop behind the cold front within the
   Southeast and the Florida Peninsula. Winds of 10-20 mph appear
   possible. With cold advection occurring, it is not clear how warm
   temperatures will rise or how low RH will fall. There does appear to
   be a zone from southern Georgia into North Florida where 25-35% RH
   is possible by the afternoon. However, temperatures will still
   likely be near 40 F and there is a slight chance for precipitation
   as the front moves through late Friday night. Uncertainty is too
   high for highlights.


U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 302142

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0342 PM CST Fri Jan 30 2026

   Valid 011200Z - 071200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   Large scale troughing is expected to predominate the eastern U.S.
   through much of next week. Multiple mid-level short wave features,
   related surface cold fronts and precipitation should generally keep
   fire weather concerns minimal across much of the eastern U.S.
   through Day 8/Friday. A period of prolonged above normal
   temperatures and dry conditions is expected across the Intermountain
   West and High Plains as a mid-level ridge amplifies over the western
   U.S. A lack of drier fuels should limit overall impact from
   occasional dry and breezy conditions across the Desert Southwest.

   ...Days 3-4/Sunday-Monday - Florida...
   A dry, post-frontal regime across FL should keep breezy northwest
   winds across the peninsula Sunday with a diminishing surface
   gradient reducing wind magnitude on Monday. However, light
   precipitation associated with the frontal passage on Day 2/Saturday
   along with abnormally cool temperatures and marginal fuel
   receptiveness should mitigate a more expansive fire weather threat
   across FL. This precludes introduction of Critical probabilities at
   this time.
