A highly amplified midlevel trough, accompanied by strong deep-layer south-southwesterly flow, will overspread the Great Basin during the day. This will promote 20-30 mph sustained south-southwesterly surface winds (with higher gusts) across portions of the southern Great Basin. Despite cooling surface temperatures and increasing moisture/RH, diurnal heating should still contribute to a corridor of 15-20 percent RH amid the strong/gusty winds. Therefore, Elevated highlights are in place for the wind-driven fire-weather risk. ..Weinman.. 09/15/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
