.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1223 AM CDT Thu Oct 29 2026/

...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns will remain low on Day 2/Friday. The western
half of the CONUS will be categorized by amplified upper troughing,
while a mid-level shortwave trough and entrained tropical remnants
bring precipitation to the central/southern Plains. Upper ridging
will continue for one more day across the Southeast, but departing
surface high pressure and the lifting shortwave trough will allow
moisture to gradually permeate the lower MS River Valley where the
driest fuels exist.
