A flattened upper-level ridge will be situated across much of the southern CONUS today. With time, shortwave ridging will build over parts of the Great Basin into the Rockies. Stronger, zonal mid-level winds will exist within the northern portions of the CONUS. Late in the period, an upper-level trough will approach the Northwest. Dry and modestly breezy conditions are possible within parts of the Great Basin into a few areas east of the Cascades in the Northwest. Given weak large-scale features, winds will generally remain too light for more than locally elevated concerns. Cloud cover in the Northwest will also keep RH values somewhat marginal and any increase in winds will tend to be after peak heating. ..Wendt.. 06/22/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
