Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1251 AM CDT Thu Jun 27 2024

Valid 271200Z - 281200Z

...Synopsis...
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.
