   ...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

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0337 PM CST Thu Jan 29 2026

   Valid 311200Z - 061200Z

   Multiple mid-level troughs will traverse a broader scale 500 mb
   northwesterly flow regime across the central and eastern CONUS
   through the middle of next week, supporting multiple southeastward
   surges of surface high pressure and an accompanying colder airmass.
   Widespread, significant wildfire-spread potential should be limited
   over most locales. Some locally dry and breezy conditions may
   overspread the Florida Peninsula Days 4-5/Sunday-Monday with the
   passage of a surface cold front. However, these conditions are
   expected to primarily support localized wildfire-spread potential,
   precluding the addition of Critical probabilities at this time.
