Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

0137 AM CDT Sat Jun 29 2024

Valid 291200Z - 301200Z

...Synopsis...
Upper ridging will develop over the central Rockies into the Plains
states as a mid-level trough impinges on the Interior West today. A
surface low will develop across the Great Basin, encouraging 15+ mph
sustained southwesterly surface winds amid 15 percent RH by
afternoon peak heating across southern and eastern Nevada into
western Utah, where Elevated highlights have been maintained.
Meanwhile, some mid-level moisture will accompany the western
mid-level trough and overspread the Pacific Northwest and northern
Rockies, especially late in the period. Mainly showers are expected,
but a couple of thunderstorms cannot be completely ruled out. Given
questionable receptiveness of fuels and overall coverage of
thunderstorms, isolated dry thunderstorm highlights have been
withheld this outlook. Finally, a surface low may develop during the
afternoon across Far West Texas, encouraging dry and breezy
conditions near and just west of the Trans Pecos. The potential
brevity and localized nature of the dry and breezy conditions over
Far West Texas preclude Elevated highlights.
