Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0253 PM CST Mon Jan 26 2026

Valid 281200Z - 031200Z

...Synopsis...
Longer term ensemble cluster analysis depicts ongoing broad scale
mid-level troughing east of the Continental Divide through at least
through the weekend, with potentially a more progressive wave
pattern emerging by Day 7 or 8 (Sunday-Monday). Colder temperatures,
antecedent moisture and lingering snow cover should largely mitigate
fire weather concerns east of the High Plains. The persistent
northwest flow aloft could bring occasional downslope warming and
drying events to the central and southern High Plains, but stronger
winds should be localized and limited to adjacent lee slopes of the
southern/central Rockies. Ridging across the West will promote dry
and seasonably warm conditions across much of the Southwest through
early next week.

...Florida...
Surface high pressure settling into the Southern Plains and lower MS
River Valley should keep deeper boundary layer moisture shunted
offshore across the Southeast and Florida. Persistent northerly to
northwesterly flow across FL will likely lead to critically low
relative humidity each day through Friday, but subdued lower-level
wind profiles and diffuse surface pressure gradients should limit
breezier winds from developing. Extended model guidance suggests a
stronger surface cyclone developing near FL by Day 6/Saturday,
traversing the East Coast into early next week. Stronger north winds
behind a cold front trailing the low is expected Saturday, but
preceding rainfall should mitigate fire weather concerns prior to
this potentially stronger offshore wind event.

SPC 2000Z Day 1 Outlook

Day 1 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0138 PM CST Mon Jan 26 2026

Valid 262000Z - 271200Z

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
No thunderstorms are expected.

...Discussion...
Occasional lightning occurred earlier today near the Florida coast
with a weak line of storms that developed along the cold front. This
convective line has weakened/moved far enough offshore to bring an
end to any thunder potential across Florida. A dry,
continental-polar airmass, which has now become established across
much of the CONUS, will continue to limit any thunderstorm
potential.

..Bentley.. 01/26/2026

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0950 AM CST Mon Jan 26 2026/

...Discussion including South Florida...
Longwave trough will remain prevalent east of the Rockies, with some
late-day amplification of the upper ridge into the West in advance
of an approaching shortwave trough. High pressure and
cold/continental trajectories will extensively prevail east of the
Rockies, with an exception being ahead of a cold front crossing the
Florida Peninsula. While near-frontal convergence will remain weak,
and mid-level lapse rates are poor, additional boundary layer
warming and deepening convection may be conducive for a few
lightning flashes, mainly near parts of the coastal southeast
Florida Peninsula through afternoon.

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0122 PM CST Mon Jan 26 2026

Valid 271200Z - 281200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

Showers along a cold front will continue to progress southeastward
through tonight across southern FL. Post-frontal north winds of
10-15 mph and dry conditions with relative humidity falling into the
20-30 percent range should support an elevated fire weather for the
Southwest FL Coast Tuesday afternoon. Modified elevated highlights
to capture mitigating effects of recent rainfall, primarily south of
the Tampa Bay area.

..Williams.. 01/26/2026

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0139 AM CST Mon Jan 26 2026/

...Synopsis...
Dry post-frontal northwesterly flow across the western Florida
peninsula will bring a period of Elevated fire weather concerns on
D2/Tuesday. Relative humidity reductions to 20-30% will overlap
sustained winds 10-15 mph. There is a chance for some precipitation
across the region on D1/Monday, however, this is expected to remain
light. An Elevated area was maintained across portions of the
western Florida peninsula where the best chances of windy/dry
conditions overlap most receptive fuels and lowest precipitation
potential.

Significant 5.6 quake hits near Mendi, Mendi-Munihu District, Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea

An intermediate magnitude 5.6 earthquake was reported early morning near Mendi, Mendi-Munihu District, Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea.
According to Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the quake hit on Tuesday, January 27th, 2026, at 3:06 am local time at an intermediate depth of 70. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 5.5 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.5, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.5.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Mendi (pop. 26,300) located 47 km from the epicenter, and Ialibu (pop. 6,900) 51 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Mount Hagen (pop. 33,600) located 103 km from the epicenter, Tari (pop. 8,200) 107 km away, and Tari (pop. 8,200) 110 km away.

Small magnitude 3.8 quake hits 41 miles southeast of Fallon, Nevada, United States in the morning

An earthquake of magnitude 3.8 occurred only 5 minutes ago 41 miles southeast of Fallon, Nevada, United States, the United States Geological Survey reported.
The quake hit at a very shallow depth of miles beneath the epicenter near Fallon, Churchill County, Nevada, USA, in the morning on Monday, January 26th, 2026, at 7:31 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.8 earthquake as well. A third agency, The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.8.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Gabbs (pop. 270) located 26 miles from the epicenter, and Fallon (pop. 8,500) 41 miles away. In Hawthorne (pop. 3,300, 56 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.

Small earthquake of magnitude 3.6 reported 20 miles northwest of Anchorage, Alaska, United States

Just 34 minutes ago, a 3.6-magnitude earthquake struck near Anchorage, Alaska, USA. The tremor was recorded early morning on Monday, January 26th, 2026, at 5:38 am local time, at a shallow depth of 8.6 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by the United States Geological Survey, the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.6.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Big Lake (pop. 3,400) located 3 miles from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Knik-Fairview (pop. 14,900) located 14 miles from the epicenter, Meadow Lakes (pop. 7,600) 16 miles away, Eagle River (pop. 24,800) 19 miles away, Eagle River (pop. 24,800) 19 miles away, Anchorage (pop. 289,600) 20 miles away, Wasilla (pop. 9,300) 20 miles away, Elmendorf Air Force Base (pop. 6,600) 21 miles away, Tanaina (pop. 8,200) 22 miles away, and Lakes (pop. 8,400) 25 miles away.
