Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0156 AM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024

Valid 111200Z - 121200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
A belt of strong westerly midlevel flow will overspread the Pacific
Northwest, while a related cold front moves eastward across the
region. This will favor downslope warming/drying and a tightening
surface pressure gradient east of the Cascades. As a result, locally
dry/breezy conditions are expected across portions of eastern WA and
OR, and locally elevated fire-weather conditions are possible.
However, marginal fuels limit confidence in an appreciable
fire-weather threat -- precluding Elevated highlights at this time.

Over the Southwest, warm/dry conditions will continue beneath a
midlevel ridge. While locally elevated fire-weather conditions are
possible (given dry fuels across the region), a modest surface
pressure gradient and fairly weak surface winds should limit the
overall fire-weather threat.
