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.
