   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0146 AM CDT Mon Oct 26 2026/

   ...Synopsis...
   Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low across the CONUS
   today. A series of shortwaves will bring widespread precipitation
   across the central/northern Rockies into the central Plains and
   upper Midwest. Warm and dry conditions will persist across the
   eastern US amid high pressure. Fuels are near the 90-95th percentile
   across portions of the lower Mississippi River Basin and adjacent
   ArkLaTex region amid severe/extreme drought. Though afternoon
   relative humidity will drop near 25%, good overnight recoveries and
   generally light winds will keep fire concerns low.
      

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0147 AM CDT Mon Oct 26 2026

   Valid 271200Z - 281200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   Fire weather concerns will remain low on D2/Tuesday. A mid-level
   trough will bring westerly flow across the northern/central Rockies.
   Lee troughing will increase across portions of northeastern Wyoming
   and southeastern Montana. Though windy conditions are forecast,
   fuels across the region are marginal with limited RH reductions and
   cooler temperatures expected. This should mitigate a broader fire
   weather threat across northeastern Wyoming and southern Montana.

U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 252144

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0444 PM CDT Sun Oct 25 2026

   Valid 271200Z - 021200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   A series of mid-level short wave troughs will eject northeastward
   into the Central Plains and Upper Midwest through Day 5/Thursday,
   supporting areas of precipitation across the Plains towards the
   Great Lakes through midweek. A strong mid-level jet stretching from
   the Great Basin to the Northern Plains will couple with an evolving
   surface trough in eastern MT to support enhanced westerly winds
   across portions of eastern/northeastern WY Day 3/Tuesday. However,
   marginal fuels, limited RH reductions and cooler temperatures should
   mitigate a broader fire weather threat across WY. 

   A broader trough pattern with an increasing southwesterly flow
   component returns across the western U.S. through the end of the
   week. Ridging will likely remain in place across the eastern U.S.
   promoting persistent dry and warm conditions across much of the Deep
   South. Fuels are driest across the lower MS River Basin but light
   surface winds will tend to limit significant fire weather concerns
   through the week.
