A mid-level low sliding southward from the Pacific Northwest will stall over northern California this afternoon, increasing deep-layer southwesterly flow across the Great Basin. Hot and dry conditions will continue across Texas and Oklahoma as high pressure expands into the central U.S., though much lighter winds will limit broader fire weather concerns. ...Central Nevada... Elevated fire weather conditions are expected this afternoon where dry and breezy south-southwesterly winds of 15-20 mph amid minimum RH values of 10-15% overlap drying fuels. RH may decline to less than 10% in some valleys, but marginal fuel receptiveness will mute a more significant fire weather concern across the area. ..Elizalde-Garcia.. 09/16/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
