Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0334 PM CST Sun Feb 01 2026



Valid 031200Z - 091200Z



...Synopsis...

A broad upper-level troughing pattern across the eastern U.S. and

ridging across the West is likely to persist through much of this

week. Longer term ensemble guidance suggests a slow deamplification

and shift eastward of the ridge into the Great Plains early next

week which could allow more favorable Pacific moisture trajectories

into the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies by Day 8/Sunday. At

the surface, another southward advancing cold front and related

mid-level trough encountering increasing lower-level Gulf moisture

will support widespread precipitation from eastern TX on Day

3/Tuesday into much of the Southeast by Day 4 Wednesday, mitigating

fire weather concerns. Dry conditions and above normal temperatures

are expected under the ridge for the West and into the High Plains.



...Days 4-5/Wednesday-Thursday - Desert Southwest and Southern

California...

A developing mid-level low near Baja California, along with an

emerging sustained east-to-west surface pressure gradient should

augment stronger easterly winds across the Desert Southwest and

southern CA by midweek. Persistently low relative humidity

(including poor overnight recoveries) are likely to persist through

midweek. Although alignment of dry and breezy conditions are

probable, a marginally dry fuelscape should allay a more significant

fire weather concern Wednesday and Thursday.
