SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook


Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0152 PM CST Mon Jan 12 2026

Valid 131200Z - 141200Z

...Central High Plains...
North-northwesterly flow aloft attributed to a deepening upper-level
trough across the eastern U.S. will increase through Tuesday across
the Southern Rockies and adjacent High Plains. The upper-level
support along with ongoing lee troughing will promote breezy
northwest winds of 10-20 mph across portions of central High Plains
Tuesday. Increasing cloud cover will limit boundary layer mixing to
a degree but relative humidity should still fall to around 20%
across northeastern CO and vicinity. This coupled with breezy winds
and dry/dormant fuels will likely support elevated fire weather
threat for northeastern CO, far southeastern WY and southwestern NE
Panhandle, where Elevated highlights have been added.

...Southern Plains...
Limited magnitude of southwest winds associated with a surface
trough extending southwest from the Great Lakes region will be a
primary mitigating factor in a broader fire weather threat across
the Southern Plains on Tuesday. Localized elevated fire weather
conditions are still possible as afternoon RH falls below 20% across
northwestern Texas and southwestern OK where winds of up to 15 mph
amid drier fuels are expected.

...Southeast...
A residual dry air mass will persist across the Southeastern U.S.
Tuesday where RH will fall to as low as 20% on Tuesday. Although
limited recent rainfall has promoted drier fuels across portions of
southern GA and the Carolinas, a weak surface pressure gradient will
restrict winds to 10 mph or less across much of the region Tuesday
afternoon, limiting a broader fire weather concern across the
Southeast.

..Williams.. 01/12/2026

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0207 AM CST Mon Jan 12 2026/

...Synopsis...
Broad northwesterly flow will persist over much of the CONUS as
eastern US troughing continues to intensify. A stronger shortwave
within the broad troughing will move southward over the central US
Tuesday. An accompanying cold front will also move southward with
strong surface winds along and behind it.

..Central High Plains...
As the upper trough over the East deepens, flow aloft will turn more
northerly ahead of the strong shortwave trough. This, along with the
surface cold front will support strong northerly/northwesterly
surface winds across parts of WY northern CO and NE Tuesday. At
least brief dry and breezy conditions are possible in this region
owing to the downslope winds. Currently, RH values appear only
modest owing to cloud cover and rapidly decreasing temperatures.
However, very dry fine fuels and in some dry/breezy conditions could
support brief locally elevated fire-weather potential Tuesday
afternoon before diminishing overnight.

...Southern Plains...
A period of dry southwesterly flow is forecast to develop across the
southern Plains D2/Tuesday as upper troughing intensifies over the
northeastern US. Winds are not forecast to be overly strong, but
gusts around 15 mph are possible. These winds, overlapping with low
RH of 15-20% during the afternoon could support some localized
fire-weather concerns. However, recent rainfall should preclude
broader potential.

...Southeast...
Dry conditions will likely persist over the Southeast as surface
high pressure settles south of the deepening low in the wake of an
earlier cold front. While strong winds appear unlikely, RH values
below 35% and drier fuels could support some brief localized
fire-weather concerns, especially across parts of coastal GA and the
Carolinas where little rainfall has occurred recently.

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0137 PM CST Mon Jan 12 2026

Valid 122000Z - 131200Z

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected today and tonight.

...Synopsis...
The previous forecast (see below) remains on track, with no changes
or additions made.

..Squitieri.. 01/12/2026

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1027 AM CST Mon Jan 12 2026/

...Synopsis and Discussion...
Largely cyclonic flow aloft is anticipated over much of the central
and eastern CONUS today, while a modifying Rex block configuration
evolves over the western CONUS. Stable conditions are forecast
across the majority of the CONUS, with offshore trajectories
persisting across the Southeast and a reinforcing surge of cold air
across the northern and central Plains as shortwave trough drops
southeastward out the Canadian Prairies into the Upper Midwest this
evening. 

A few lightning flashes could occur with the elevated convection
expected tonight from TX Rio Grande Valley into the TX Hill Country
as the upper low associated with the modifying Rex Block progresses
across central Mexico. A flash or two could also occur along the
southeast FL Coast after 04Z, where low-level convergence and
moderate low-level moisture may result in sporadic deep convection.
However, overall thunderstorm coverage is currently forecast to be
less than 10% in both of these areas.

Moderate 4.8 quake hits near Sentani, Kabupaten Jayapura, Provinsi Papua, Indonesia Webmaster 3 hours ago

Moderate 4.8 quake hits near Sentani, Kabupaten Jayapura, Provinsi Papua, Indonesia

A moderately shallow magnitude 4.8 earthquake was reported early morning near Sentani, Kabupaten Jayapura, Provinsi Papua, Indonesia.
According to Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the quake hit on Tuesday, January 13th, 2026, at 4:18 am local time at a moderately shallow depth of 51. 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.8 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Elelim (pop. 5,900) located 90 km from the epicenter, Sentani (pop. 44,800) 99 km away, Kobakma (pop. 13,100) 107 km away, and Abepura (pop. 62,200) 110 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the globe who wants to know more about this quake.

Day 3 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0110 PM CST Mon Jan 12 2026

Valid 141200Z - 151200Z

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorm potential appears low on Wednesday.

...Synopsis...
A deep upper trough will remain in place across the central/eastern
CONUS on Wednesday. Within the large-scale trough, embedded
shortwave troughs will move through parts of the Midwest/Great
Lakes, central Gulf Coast/Southeast, and the Florida Peninsula. A
surface low initially over Quebec will move quickly northeastward,
with new surface low development expected near southern New England
later in the period, and frontal wave development possible offshore
of the Atlantic Seaboard. A reinforcing cold front will move through
much of the central/eastern CONUS through the period. 

With the exception of south FL, prefrontal moisture return is
expected to be too meager for appreciable destabilization. Across
south FL, weak buoyancy may be in place Wednesday morning, but most
guidance suggests that thunderstorm potential will largely be
offshore by the start of the period (12Z Wednesday morning). Late in
the period, weak convection associated with the approaching
shortwave trough and cold front may affect parts of the FL
Peninsula, but forecast buoyancy by late Wednesday night/early
Thursday morning appears too weak/shallow for appreciable
thunderstorm potential.
