Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0148 AM CST Wed Jan 21 2026



Valid 211200Z - 221200Z



...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



...Synopsis...

A northwesterly jet streak will overspread the northern/central

Plains today, while a related cold front moves across the region.

Along/immediately ahead of the front, breezy/gusty northwesterly

surface winds and around 25 percent RH may yield locally elevated

fire-weather conditions across parts of southeast WY, southwest NE,

and northeast CO. However, the overall risk should be spatially and

temporally limited by the southward-moving cold front.



Farther south, enhanced northwesterly flow aloft and related lee

troughing over the central High Plains will also lead to locally

dry/breezy conditions in the immediate lee of the Front Range and

Sangre de Cristo Mountains in CO and northern NM.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0148 AM CST Wed Jan 21 2026



Valid 221200Z - 231200Z



...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



...Synopsis...

An arctic air mass will begin to infiltrate the northern and central

Plains on Thursday, limiting the fire-weather risk across much of

the CONUS. The only exception will be in the lee of the southern

Rockies in NM, where westerly/downslope flow and lee troughing will

favor locally dry/breezy conditions during the afternoon.
