A potent upper-level trough will move through the Northwest and into the northern Rockies today. At the surface, a low will deepen in the northern High Plains. A cold front will push into the Great Basin from the northwest. ...Northern Nevada into Snake River Plain... Winds ahead of and behind the surface boundary will intensify by the afternoon. RH during the afternoon is less than certain as there is some possibility of some higher-level cloud cover ahead of the trough as well as cumulus buildups within the terrain areas. However, it seems reasonable to expect 15-20% for most areas. Winds through the Snake Plain are likely to be stronger given the proximity to the mid-level jet. There, 20-25 mph will be possible. Into Nevada, 15-20 mph is more likely. With rainfall having occurred across central portions of Nevada, the elevated area has been adjusted to account for temporary fuel moistening. Within the Snake Plain, fuels are not yet critically dry and will not support an addition of critical highlights despite favorable meteorological conditions. ..Wendt.. 06/27/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
