104 FNUS21 KWNS 221521 FWDDY1 Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1020 AM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024 Valid 221700Z - 231200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... Fire weather potential remains low for today across the CONUS. Localized elevated fire weather conditions are probable in the lee of the northern Sierra Nevada into northwest NV this afternoon, as well as across south-central NV. However, these conditions are expected to remain sufficiently localized and transient to preclude highlights. Isolated dry thunderstorms are possible across central UT, but fuels across this region are sufficiently moist to limit dry-lightning concerns. ..Moore.. 06/22/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0100 AM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024/ ...Synopsis... A flattened upper-level ridge will be situated across much of the southern CONUS today. With time, shortwave ridging will build over parts of the Great Basin into the Rockies. Stronger, zonal mid-level winds will exist within the northern portions of the CONUS. Late in the period, an upper-level trough will approach the Northwest. Dry and modestly breezy conditions are possible within parts of the Great Basin into a few areas east of the Cascades in the Northwest. Given weak large-scale features, winds will generally remain too light for more than locally elevated concerns. Cloud cover in the Northwest will also keep RH values somewhat marginal and any increase in winds will tend to be after peak heating. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
