Isolated dry thunderstorms will be possible across portions of the western and northwestern Great Basin as early as this morning. Then, late this morning through this afternoon, additional isolated dry thunderstorms may develop along and east of the Cascades of WA. These areas will also be favored regions for increasing west to southwest sustained surface winds around 20-25 mph via a tightening surface pressure gradient along and just behind a cold front. Clearer skies in the wake of mid-level ascent accompanying a shortwave trough will also allow for deeper mixing/momentum transfer of stronger flow from aloft across these regions. The lowest RH is anticipated over the Great Basin, where low teens should persist throughout most of the day. Further north, east of the Cascades, minimum RH will range from 20-30 percent. ..Barnes.. 06/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
