Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0345 PM CST Fri Jan 23 2026



Valid 251200Z - 311200Z



...Synopsis...

A long-wave trough will continue to translate eastward over much of

the CONUS by D3/Sunday. An associated modified Arctic air-mass will

encompass most of the central and eastern CONUS into D4/Monday,

while precipitation shifts into the South, Mid Atlantic, and New

England regions. Additional upper troughs are expected to dive

southward out of central Canada throughout next week, with

reinforcing cold air masses at the surface maintaining below average

temperatures from the Rockies eastward. Further west, however, upper

ridging is anticipated to briefly return to the Southwest and Great

Basin before another Pacific trough moves onshore mid to late next

week. Some precipitation may accompany this feature from CA

northward into the Pacific Northwest.



Generally, this pattern will keep fire weather concerns low to very

low throughout the extended forecast especially across the eastern

2/3 of the CONUS.
