   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1028 AM CST Thu Jan 29 2026

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   The previous forecast (see below) remains on track.

   ..Squitieri.. 01/29/2026

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1142 PM CST Wed Jan 28 2026/

   ...Synopsis...
   A shortwave trough will move across the central Rockies today, 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 (southerly 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.

   Across portions of the southern Florida Peninsula, dry conditions
   will continue. Afternoon relative humidity reductions to around
   20-25 percent will be likely. Winds are expected to be mostly light,
   which will keep fire concerns low.
      

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDDY2 ALL
   FNUS22 KWNS 291849

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1249 PM CST Thu Jan 29 2026

   Valid 301200Z - 311200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   The previous forecast (see below) remains unchanged.

   ..Squitieri.. 01/29/2026

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1143 PM CST Wed Jan 28 2026/

   ...Synopsis...
   Fire weather concerns will be negligible on D2/Friday. A surface
   high will build in across the central US, further reinforcing the
   cold arctic air southward into the Plains and Missouri/Mississippi
   River Valleys. This pattern will favor generally light winds and
   with the very cold air mass will keep fire concerns low across the
   CONUS.


U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 282052

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   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.
