Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1141 PM CST Thu Jan 29 2026 Valid 301200Z - 311200Z ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are not expected today or tonight. ...Synopsis/Discussion... A longwave trough will remain steadfast east of the Rockies, with upper ridging prevalent over much of the West aside from a few ridge-riding shortwave troughs over the Pacific Northwest and Canadian Rockies. Surface cyclogenesis is expected late tonight off the coastal south Atlantic, with the expectation that convection will also increase offshore in vicinity of the Gulf Stream overnight through early Saturday morning. However, it appears that lightning flash potential will remain limited (less than 10 percent) for the near-coastal areas of the Carolinas. ..Guyer/Wendt.. 01/30/2026 Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1136 PM CST Thu Jan 29 2026 Valid 311200Z - 011200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... A strong upper trough will continue to pivot through the Southeast on Saturday. A low pressure system will deepen off the East Coast. While fuels will continue to dry in the West where upper level ridging will be present, surface high pressure/cold air should greatly limit fire weather concerns for most areas with drier fuels. ...Southern Georgia into North Florida... With a low pressure system deepening off the Mid-Atlantic coast, stronger surface winds will develop behind the cold front within the Southeast and the Florida Peninsula. Winds of 10-20 mph appear possible. With cold advection occurring, it is not clear how warm temperatures will rise or how low RH will fall. There does appear to be a zone from southern Georgia into North Florida where 25-35% RH is possible by the afternoon. However, temperatures will still likely be near 40 F and there is a slight chance for precipitation as the front moves through late Friday night. Uncertainty is too high for highlights. ..Wendt.. 01/30/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

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...
