Valid 151200Z - 161200Z

The previous forecast is largely on track, with some marginal
expansion of the Elevated Risk area into portions of eastern
California and southern Utah. Additionally, Elevated fire weather
conditions are also possible in the Snake River Plain in eastern
Idaho tomorrow afternoon, with gusts to 30-35 mph and 15-20% RH.
Along with some locally drier fuels in the region, an Elevated Risk
area has been added to cover this threat.

...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.
