One complex incident management team and two type one incident management teams are in place nationwide. No new large fires have been reported since yesterday. Containment percentages continue to increase on the wildfires in Southern California, although many evacuations and closures remain in effect. Sufficient firefighting resources have mobilized within or from outside the area to allow many resources to be reassigned to staging for initial attack on new fires (especially crucial during red flag warnings). Please find the Eaton Fire and Hurst Fire on InciWeb and the Palisades Fire on the CALFIRE website for current information about these fires.
The United States Forest Service has activated eight Department of Defense C-130 aircraft equipped with modular airborne firefighting systems (MAFFS). The eight aircraft join other municipal, county, state, and federal agencies fighting wildfires in the Greater Los Angeles Area.

The National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook is available for the period of January through April 2025.
Northeasterly Santa Ana winds will continue today across southern California, with peak gusts to 55 mph as relative humidity falls to near 10% and poor overnight recovery. Lake-effect snow is forecast in the Great Lakes under northwesterly winds today, with locally heavy amounts downwind of the lakes. A dissipating cold front will also bring areas of light snow to portions of Montana and Wyoming, east of the Divide, with areas of light snow into portions of the central Plains. A weak storm will move though the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, bringing areas of wetting rain to southern Georgia and much of Florida. Much of the rest of the US will remain dry today dur to upper-level ridging along near the West Coast, with a dry northwesterly flow aloft across the rest of the country. Drier conditions are expected across much of Alaska, as well, except for heavy rain continuing across the panhandle and light snow across the western Interior and western Brooks Range.
