...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
An upper-level ridge will build into the Great Basin and extend into
the Northwest on Tuesday. Overall, mid-level winds will be weaker
across these areas than on previous days. There is some potential
for subtle shortwave troughs within the flow to enhance winds in
parts of northwest Nevada and southeast Oregon. An upper-level
trough will approach the Northwest late in the period. The surface
pressure pattern will be rather nebulous for much of the day. A
surface low will deepen within the Columbia Basin vicinity, but this
will primarily occur during the evening/overnight. At this time,
only locally elevated fire weather conditions are expected from
parts of northern Nevada into southeast Oregon and southern Idaho.

A plume of mid-level moisture will push farther north and west as
well. A weak shortwave trough is expected to promote thunderstorms
along the Sierra Front in Nevada. The areas where confidence in
storm coverage is highest will see an increase in PWAT values to
near/over an inch. Drier storms could occur farther east in an area
where mid-level moisture is less, but confidence in coverage is also
much lower.
