DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1229 AM CST SUN FEB 01 2026
VALID 021200Z - 031200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
..SYNOPSIS
AFTER UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING SHIFTS INTO PARTS OF THE PLAINS ON SUNDAY,
A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL LEAD TO SOME BREAKDOWN OF THAT RIDGE AS IT
DIVES SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON MONDAY. AT THE
SURFACE, A MODEST LEE TROUGH/CYCLONE WILL DEVELOP IN THE CENTRAL
HIGH PLAINS AND SHIFT SOUTHWARD. FIRE WEATHER RISK WILL BROADLY
REMAIN LOW ACROSS A MAJORITY OF THE CONUS.
..CENTRAL/SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS
WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LEE TROUGH/CYCLONE, AT LEAST MODEST
DOWNSLOPE WINDS APPEAR POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE
MORE NORTHERLY IN THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS. MID/UPPER CLOUDS MAKE RH
REDUCTIONS UNCERTAIN IN THIS AREA. FARTHER SOUTH, WINDS IN EASTERN
NEW MEXICO WILL MORE LIKELY BE WESTERLY AND RH COULD FALL BELOW 20%.
IN BOTH AREAS, WINDS WILL BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE WITH AROUND 15 MPH
EXPECTED (LOCALLY UP TO 20 MPH). THIS OVERALL ENVIRONMENT WILL BE
CONDUCIVE TO FUEL DRYING BUT IS NOT EXPECTED TO CARRY MORE THAN A
LOCALIZED FIRE WEATHER RISK.
..FLORIDA
RH BELOW 25-30% WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON. A MORE
RELAXED PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL MEAN LIGHTER WINDS THAN THE PREVIOUS
TWO DAYS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMER, HOWEVER. WITHOUT STRONGER
SURFACE WINDS, FIRE WEATHER RISK APPEARS LOW. LOCALIZED CONCERNS ARE
POSSIBLE WHERE RECENT RAINFALL WAS NOT OBSERVED.
