Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0337 PM CST Thu Jan 29 2026 Valid 311200Z - 061200Z Multiple mid-level troughs will traverse a broader scale 500 mb northwesterly flow regime across the central and eastern CONUS through the middle of next week, supporting multiple southeastward surges of surface high pressure and an accompanying colder airmass. Widespread, significant wildfire-spread potential should be limited over most locales. Some locally dry and breezy conditions may overspread the Florida Peninsula Days 4-5/Sunday-Monday with the passage of a surface cold front. However, these conditions are expected to primarily support localized wildfire-spread potential, precluding the addition of Critical probabilities at this time. ..Squitieri.. 01/29/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...Read more
