.NEAR TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 1150 AM CST Wed Jan 14 2026

Breezy north winds and scattered to broken low clouds behind this
morning`s cold frontal passage have held temperatures mostly
steady today, with readings only up a few degrees over this
morning`s low temperatures. These winds, combined with a drier
airmass, are also leading to another day of elevated fire weather
across most of the area, with elevated conditions likely to
continue through much of the afternoon before temperatures cool
and winds diminish this evening. Lows tonight will be seasonably
cold, with readings dropping into the mid to upper 20s.

.SHORT TERM...
(Thursday through Friday night)
Issued at 1150 AM CST Wed Jan 14 2026

Winds will quickly return to southerly on Thursday as surface high
pressure settles over the Gulf coast. Veered 850mb flow will help
advect a downslope-warmed airmass from the High Plains into the
region. This will lead to a west-east temperature gradient across
the area by Thursday afternoon, with upper 60s-low 70s west to mid-
upper 50s east. Winds will be lighter compared to today but should
be sufficient for another day of elevated fire weather for our far
western counties where minimum relative humidity will drop to near
20%.

Friday appears to offer greater fire weather potential behind yet
another dry cold front. Even with temperatures in the 40s and
50s, very dry air (dew points in the single digits) combined with
northwest winds gusting to 30-40mph behind the front will create
near-critical fire weather conditions for much of western OK, with
elevated conditions across the rest of the area.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 1225 AM CST Wed Jan 14 2026

The upcoming weekend and early next week time frame looks to offer
generally seasonable (and dry) weather. A prominent longwave upper
trough will remain anchored across portions of the Great Lakes, with
occasional shortwaves rounding its periphery.

Saturday still looks to be a somewhat cooler day, with potential for
realized high temperatures to run a bit below our current gridded
forecast with potential for widespread cloudiness, and as a 1024+
millibar surface high moves overhead. Our forecast for Sunday may
meet similar pitfalls, with current forecast readings running
near the 75th+ percentile of grand ensemble guidance.

Afternoon periods of lowered relative humidity and occasionally
gusty winds will continue the trend of fire weather potential
through at least Sunday. The continued lack of any appreciable
precipitation chance over the next 7 days won`t help the ongoing
drought/state of fire weather fuels either.
