.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0135 AM CDT Mon Jun 24 2024/

...Synopsis...
An upper-level trough will continue eastward into the Northern
Plains today. Upper-level winds across the Northwest into the
northern Great Basin will remain modestly strong into the afternoon.
Similarly, a modestly strong surface pressure gradient will remain
across these areas before weakening overnight.

...OR/CA/NV into Snake River Plain...
Though surface winds will be slightly weaker than on Sunday, 15-20
mph winds can generally be expected given the lingering presence of
the synoptic features described earlier. Stronger winds do appear
probable in the Snake River Plain due to terrain effects and
favorable orientation of the mid-level winds. RH of 15-20% will be
common by the afternoon. Elevated fire weather is expected with the
greatest potential for locally critical conditions in the Snake
River Plain.
