Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0353 PM CST Tue Jan 20 2026



Valid 221200Z - 281200Z



Fire weather concerns are likely to remain minimal through early

next week across most of the contiguous U.S. An arctic air mass will

begin filtering into the northern U.S. on Day 3/Thursday, reaching

the Gulf and Atlantic Coast by Day 4/Friday, while an upper-level

trough facilitates bringing increasing East Pacific and Gulf

moisture into the Southwest and Southern Plains. A broad swath of

mixed precipitation, including significant snow accumulations, will

encompass much of the southern U.S. Day 4/Friday through Day

8/Tuesday mitigating fire weather concerns, particularly across the

southern High Plains where fuels remain dry. The FL Peninsula and

portions of the central Plains are likely to receive minimal

precipitation, aiding in keeping fuels on the drier side through the

weekend.
