Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1139 PM CST Fri Jan 30 2026
Valid 311200Z - 011200Z
...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
...Synopsis...
A deepening surface low off the Mid-Atlantic coast will drive 15-20
mph surface winds down the Florida Peninsula today. It is possible
that marginal RH reductions may occur along the Florida-Georgia line
(30-35% during the afternoon). However, light precipitation was
observed on Friday which will dampen fuels. Coupled with
temperatures in the 40s F, fire weather concerns will likely remain
minimal. Elsewhere within the CONUS, combinations of cool/cold
temperatures, light winds, and poor fuel receptiveness will preclude
concerns.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1140 PM CST Fri Jan 30 2026
Valid 011200Z - 021200Z
...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
...Synopsis...
The potent upper-level trough on the East Coast and associated
surface cyclone offshore will lift northeastward with time on
Sunday. Surface high pressure and colder air will shift eastward
into the more of the eastern U.S.
...Florida...
Confidence in reduced RH during the afternoon is higher than on
Saturday. RH of 25-35% appears possible along the eastern Peninsula.
As with Saturday, temperatures will remain on the cool side. More
importantly, winds speeds will be on a downward trend through the
period. Given this expected environment, fire weather risk is
expected to remain low.

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.
