The previous forecast and discussion from below remain valid. Although isolated dry thunderstorms cannot be ruled out across portions of northeastern NV, far northern UT, and far southeastern ID this afternoon and evening, fuels within these areas do not appear receptive at this time. Considering this, and continued uncertainty in thunderstorm development, a small Isolated Dry Thunderstorm area will not be included. ..Barnes.. 06/21/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1256 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024/ ...Synopsis... Though the upper-level trough across the West will be losing amplitude today, some mid-level flow enhancement will remain across the parts of the southern Great Basin. Mid-level moisture will also continue to push northwestward. Locally dry and breezy conditions appear probable in parts of western Arizona into southern Nevada and southwest Utah. Absent any stronger synoptic features, duration of any elevated conditions should be rather brief. Thunderstorms are likely across the Southwest into the Great Basin. This activity should produce wetting rains. Along the periphery of the moisture plume, some drier thunderstorms are possible. However, initiation and coverage in northern Nevada/southern Idaho are much too uncertain for any highlights. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
