U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   ZCZC SPCFWDDY1 ALL
   FNUS21 KWNS 030630

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1230 AM CST Tue Feb 03 2026

   Valid 031200Z - 041200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   The upper level pattern today will feature a trough in the East and
   a ridge in the West. At the surface, high pressure will be
   reinforced within the West and the Plains/Upper Midwest.

   ...Central High Plains...
   With a secondary cold front moving through the region, temperatures
   should be slightly cooler than on Monday. Dry and breezy northerly
   are again expected into late afternoon. The strongest winds (15-20
   mph) will occur within the cooler air in northeast Colorado. Farther
   south, 10-15 mph winds will occur within drier air (15-20% RH).
   Given limited fuel receptiveness and marginally elevated conditions,
   fire weather risk will likely be localized.

   ...Southern California...
   With high pressure building into the Great Basin, offshore winds
   will increase into Wednesday morning. Gusty, dry winds will occur
   within the wind prone terrain areas. Current fuel information
   suggests fire weather concerns will be limited.

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDDY2 ALL
   FNUS22 KWNS 030635

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1235 AM CST Tue Feb 03 2026

   Valid 041200Z - 051200Z

   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   ...Synopsis...
   The eastern trough/western ridge upper-level pattern on Wednesday
   will become more amplified. At the surface, high pressure is
   expected to become more entrenched over much of the CONUS.

   ...Southern High Plains...
   Behind the cold front, northerly winds will spread across West Texas
   into parts of central Texas. Winds of 15-20 mph will be possible,
   though the strongest winds will occur where temperatures are cooler
   and RH is higher. Fuels are not overly receptive, but some localized
   concerns are possible.

   ...Florida...
   With a surface low evolving within the southern
   Appalachians/Piedmont, southwesterly winds will modestly increase
   across the Florida Peninsula. With a dry airmass in place, RH could
   fall below 30% as temperatures rise into the 60s F. Winds may still
   struggle to reach 10 mph. Only locally elevated fire weather is
   expected.

   ...Southern California...
   Dry and breezy conditions are expected to last into the afternoon.
   The strongest winds will occur during the early morning. RH of
   10-20% appears possible along with winds of 15-25 mph. Even with
   these conditions, fuel moisture remains high enough to limit a
   greater fire weather concern.

U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 022159

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0359 PM CST Mon Feb 02 2026

   Valid 041200Z - 101200Z

   An amplified and partially blocked mid-level flow pattern over the
   US will persist much of this week before slowly devolving this
   weekend. Broad troughing over the East will continue as a cold
   continental air mass is reinforced by several frontal passages
   emanating from southern Canada. At the same time, a rex block over
   the West will keep relatively dry and unusually warm conditions in
   place for the next several days. Thereafter western ridging should
   slowly move eastward late this week as the overall flow pattern
   transitions to more zonal flow. While fire-weather concerns appear
   limited owing to below normal temperatures and recent precipitation
   over much of the eastern US, some areas of the West and FL could see
   dry/breezy conditions into next week.

   ...Southern CA...
   Beneath the upper ridge over the West Coast, a developing mid-level
   low near Baja California will encourage easterly low and mid-level
   flow over portions of Desert Southwest and southern CA D3/Wed and
   D4/Thursday. Ridge top gusts of 30-40 mph are possible early
   D3/Wednesday lingering into D4/Thursday with poor overnight RH
   recoveries below 30%. Although alignment of dry and breezy
   conditions are probable, a marginally dry fuelscape should limit
   more significant fire weather concerns. Thereafter, onshore flow
   should return as the upper low lifts north, limiting the
   fire-weather risk into the weekend.

   ...FL...
   The passage of several dry cold fronts later this week and into the
   weekend could support occasional dry/breezy conditions over parts of
   FL. With gusty northerly winds and offshore trajectories, well below
   average RH (20-30%) is expected D5/Friday and D6/Saturday. However,
   this will also coincide with below normal temperatures. Some
   fire-weather risk is possible late this week and into the weekend
   over the FL peninsula where precipitation has been limited. However,
   the overall threat for fire-weather activity is uncertain given only
   modestly receptive fuels.
