...Synopsis...
An upper-level shortwave trough will continue to dig down the
Pacific coast today, and start to move inland near central CA and
into the Great Basin this afternoon. A deepening surface cyclone
will accompany this feature, and a tightening pressure gradient is
expected from southern CA through northern NV. As a result, breezy
southwest sustained surface winds will combine with low RH and
increasingly receptive fuels across extreme southeastern NV and far
western/northwestern AZ. The Elevated area has been extended
westward to include the aforementioned region. Further east across
southern AZ and western NM, low RH will remain common albeit with
lower wind speeds.
