Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

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.

...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.
