The upper-level trough in the Northwest will move into the northern Rockies and Plains through the day on Monday. A surface front will have moved through the Northwest and stalled in the northern Great Basin. Surface winds from the lee of the northern Sierra into the Snake River Plain will be modestly enhanced ahead of the front. Furthermore, lingering stronger mid-level winds will remain across southern Idaho. These features will promote dry and breezy conditions during the afternoon. RH of 10-20% will be possible. Winds of 15-20 mph can be expected, though speeds approaching 25 mph may occur in the Snake River Plain. Elevated fire weather is expected in these areas for a few hours during the afternoon. Locally critical is again possible in the Snake Plain, but fuels will continue to mitigate greater risk. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
