DAY 1 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0136 AM CST THU JAN 08 2026
VALID 081200Z - 091200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
..SYNOPSIS
A BROAD MID-LEVEL TROUGH, WITH MULTIPLE EMBEDDED MID-LEVEL IMPULSES,
WILL TRAVERSE THE CENTRAL U.S. TODAY, WITH A SURFACE CYCLONE POISED
TO DEEPEN WHILE TRANSLATING FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE GREAT
LAKES IN TANDEM WITH THE FIRST MID-LEVEL IMPULSE. AS THIS OCCURS, A
BROAD REGION OF 15-25 MPH SUSTAINED WESTERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL
OVERSPREAD WESTERN TEXAS INTO OKLAHOMA BEHIND A COLD FRONT THROUGH
THE DAY. HOWEVER, RH WILL DIP ONLY INTO THE 25-40 PERCENT RANGE, AND
WILL BE PRECEDED BY APPRECIABLE RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS, PUTTING FUEL
RECEPTIVENESS TO WILDFIRE SPREAD INTO QUESTION. WHILE LOCALIZED
WILDFIRE SPREAD POTENTIAL IS EVIDENT, SUCH CONDITIONS DO NOT APPEAR
WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS.
