Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

A mid-level trough in the northwestern CONUS will contribute to a
corridor of dry southwest flow over the southern/central Great Basin
Saturday. Although south-southwesterly surface winds of 15-20 mph
and RH reductions in the 15-20% range are expected across
southern/central Nevada, recent rainfall and marginal fuels still
precludes introduction of Elevated highlights for this event.

...Synopsis...
A midlevel trough will gradually amplify over the West on Saturday
afternoon, resulting in strengthening deep-layer southerly flow
across parts of the southern and central Great Basin. Deep
boundary-layer mixing will support south-southwesterly surface winds
of 15-20 mph amid afternoon RH of 15-20 percent. While locally
elevated fire-weather conditions are possible across
southern/central NV, marginal fuels should generally limit
fire-weather concerns.
