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.
