Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0144 AM CST Fri Jan 02 2026



Valid 021200Z - 031200Z



...Synopsis...

The large-scale pattern will consist of a western ridge and an

eastern trough on Friday. A short-wave trough will undercut the

western ridge and traverse the Southern Plains as it moves toward

the Southeast. As this trough moves east, a surface low will develop

across eastern Texas on Friday. To the west of this low, westerly

downslope flow will support gusty surface winds and modest drying.

This will support elevated fire-weather conditions across portions

of west and southwest Texas. Here, the greatest potential relative

humidity values to fall into the 20%s amidst winds in the 10-15 mph

range with stronger gusts.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0145 AM CST Fri Jan 02 2026



Valid 031200Z - 041200Z



...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



...Synopsis...

The prevailing large-scale mid-level pattern will remain the same on

Saturday (as compared to Friday) with a western ridge and eastern

trough. The short-wave trough that will have moved across the

Southern Plains on Friday will be absorbed into the eastern US

longwave trough on Saturday. As this happens, low-level moisture

will be drawn northward into the Southeast. To the west of this

trough (across the Southern Plains), relative humidity will once

again fall into the 20%s across portions of southern and southwest

Texas, however, with the departure of the mid-level wave, winds

should be light enough to preclude fire-weather highlights.
