911 FNUS28 KWNS 241949 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0247 PM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 Valid 261200Z - 021200Z ...Synopsis... An weak upper-level trough will move across the Pacific Northwest Day 3/Thursday into the Great Lakes by Day 7/Monday. An amplifying ridge across the Intermountain West early next week will promote lighter surface winds but well above normal temperatures for much of the Western U.S. Weak troughing will remain off the West Coast, with potential for locally breezy conditions and mix of wet/dry thunderstorms. ...Day 3-6/Thursday-Sunday... Generally weak upper flow with the western trough will promote lighter, mainly terrain driven winds across much of the Intermountain West and Southwest late this week, into early next week. A few hours of Elevated to locally Critical conditions will be possible across portions of the Columbia Basin into the Snake River Plain in Idaho on D3/Thursday and D4/Friday. ...Day 7/Monday - Day 8/Tuesday... A weak trough will push the western ridge eastward across the Divide and Rockies early next week. There is some potential for increasing winds but also moisture for thunderstorms across the Pacific Northwest. For now, confidence in moisture and position of the trough remains too low to include probabilities. ..Thornton.. 06/24/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
