399 FNUS22 KWNS 300705 FWDDY2 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0204 AM CDT Sun Jun 30 2024 Valid 011200Z - 021200Z ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will continue to progress eastward and impinge on the Rockies tomorrow (Monday) while upper ridging prevails across the central U.S. A mid-level jet streak will pivot around the trough and overspread the Great Basin region, supporting another day of dry and breezy conditions. By afternoon peak heating, much of the Great Basin will experience 15+ mph sustained west-southwesterly surface winds amid 10-15 percent RH, warranting the introduction of Elevated highlights. Dry conditions (i.e. RH as low as 10 percent in spots) are also expected across much of the California Central Valley region, where fuels are becoming increasingly receptive to wildfire spread. At the moment, the consensus among model guidance members suggests that surface winds will be on the lighter side, with fire weather highlights withheld for now. However, at least Elevated highlights may be needed in future outlooks if guidance trends windier in California. ..Squitieri.. 06/30/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
