SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
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. ..Williams.. 01/30/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
