Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

0356 PM CST Tue Jan 27 2026



Valid 291200Z - 041200Z



A generally broad northwesterly flow regime will remain in place

over the CONUS through the middle of next week, with multiple

embedded impulses poised to amplify across the northern Plains and 

approach the Atlantic coastline through the extended period. This

particular upper-air pattern will reinforce surface high pressure

and an associated sub-freezing airmass across much of the CONUS east

of the Rockies Days 3-8 (Thursday through next Tuesday). Fire

weather spread conditions should be limited over most locales, with

the Florida Peninsula being a possible exception later in the

extended period. Around Days 6-7/Sunday-Monday, a cold front should

surge southeast across the Florida Peninsula, with dry and windy

conditions possible in the post-frontal airmass. At the moment, some

disagreement exists regarding how dry/windy these conditions may

become between medium-range guidance members. If greater agreement

in dry/windy conditions becomes apparent in future runs, 40 percent

Critical probabilities may be needed in future outlooks (assuming no

appreciable rainfall happens in advance).
