Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
Weak and diffuse upper-level troughing will continue over the
Southwest, with an upper-level trough moving into the northwestern
US. Winds will increase across much of western/northern Nevada into
southern Idaho ahead of the upper-level trough and associated dry
cold front and overlap a dry airmass. Elevated to locally critical
winds/RH are likely across these areas, but recent rainfall should
mitigate fire weather concerns, with this acting as more of a curing
event.

Isolated to scattered mixed wet/dry thunderstorms are likely again
across portions of far eastern Arizona into western New Mexico and
southern Colorado. Storms east of the Divide will be mostly wet with
drier storms along/west of the Divide. However, given the weak
steering flow, storms are likely to linger longer over areas,
especially on the higher terrain. Additionally, slightly deeper
moisture may work its way into portions of eastern Arizona,
especially southeast Arizona, which would also limit the potential
for drier thunderstorms. Fuels remain dry, but some areas will have
a second consecutive day of thunderstorms, which may help limit
ignition potential.

The upper-level ridge will begin to flatten over the Upper Midwest
and Great Lakes, but the stronger winds will be displaced from the
lowest RH. Regardless, fuels remain very dry across these areas
(90th+ percentile) amid above normal temperatures and pockets of RH
below elevated criteria.
