592 FNUS22 KWNS 281834 FWDDY2 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0134 PM CDT Fri Jun 28 2024 Valid 291200Z - 301200Z The Elevated area was expanded north and east across eastern Nevada and western Utah, as a broader area of south-southwest sustained winds of 15-25 mph and minimum RH of 5-15% is expected. While thunderstorms produced wetting rains in parts of the outlook area this week, holdovers remain possible given the forecast winds and RH. Isolated mixed wet and dry thunderstorms are possible from northeast Oregon into north Idaho tomorrow evening and overnight, but the low probabilities/high uncertainty for thunderstorms and underlying fuel conditions preclude introducing an Iso DryT area. ..Nauslar.. 06/28/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0126 AM CDT Fri Jun 28 2024/ ...Synopsis... Upper ridging will build across the central Rockies into the Mississippi Valley tomorrow/Saturday as a mid-level trough impinges on the Interior West. A modest surface cyclone will develop over the Great Basin by afternoon, encouraging dry and windy conditions across portions of southern Nevada and surrounding areas. 15+ mph sustained southwesterly surface winds will overlap with 5-10 percent RH by afternoon peak heating over southern parts of the Great Basin. Some guidance suggests that wind speeds well over 20 mph may be observed over southern Nevada. However, marginally receptive fuels suggest that only Elevated highlights are warranted at this time. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
