Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0154 AM CDT Fri Jun 14 2024

Valid 151200Z - 161200Z

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will remain in place across the western US on
Saturday with a belt of enhanced west to southwesterly flow moving
across the Cascades into the Northern Rockies. This will bring
potential for breezy/dry downslope flow to overspread dry fuels in
the lee of the Cascades across western Washington/northern Oregon
within the Columbia Basin. Afternoon relative humidity reductions to
15-25 percent will overlap sustained winds 15-20 mph. Locally
Critical fire weather concerns will be possible, though Critical
winds appear too localized to include any areas at this time.

Ahead of the western US trough, a surface trough across southern
Nevada into western Arizona will bring breezy/dry conditions across
southern Nevada into southwestern Utah and northwestern Arizona,
where relative humidity reductions into the teens to single digit
will overlap sustained southwesterly flow around 10-15 mph. This
warrants inclusion of an Elevated delineation as fuels are
critically dry across this region.
