Valid 161200Z - 171200Z

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN COLORADO INTO
EASTERN UTAH...

...Synopsis...
A departing mid-level trough will bring continued breezy conditions
across portions of southern Nevada into west-central Utah. This will
overlap with relative humidity reductions around 10-15 mph bringing
Elevated fire weather conditions. In addition to the background
flow, nearby high based convection will likely bring gusty and
erratic winds.

...Dry Thunderstorms...
A broad area of dry thunderstorms is expected across northern AZ
into western CO, UT, southern WY, and portions of eastern NV. Across
western Colorado into eastern Utah, forcing for ascent with the
upper-level trough will aid in more scattered coverage of
thunderstorm activity. Sounding profiles within this region show
elevated instability amid very dry low-levels which will promote
high based convection with efficient lightning production and little
to no measurable precipitation. Fuels within this region remain
critically dry with several ongoing fires.
