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.

.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.
