An approaching mid to upper-level Pacific trough will begin to promote breezy southwesterly surface winds across portions of far northern CA and south-central OR later this afternoon. A small Elevated area was considered across this region, where RH is expected to drop into the low teens. However, given the isolated nature of the expected elevated conditions, and overlap with less receptive fuels, it was not included at this time. Thunderstorms are still expected to develop this afternoon over the Great Basin, within a mid-level plume of moisture lifting northward out of southern CA. Initial thunderstorm development in and around the Wassuk Range of NV, and White Mountains of NV/CA, may contain dry lightning. A small area of Isolated Dry Thunderstorms was considered here. However, increasing PWATS and scattered, wet thunderstorms will soon follow. In addition, the dry lightning strikes should remain west of the more volatile fuels found further east/northeast of these ranges. ..Barnes.. 06/25/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
