Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

Valid 031200Z - 041200Z

...Synopsis...
A midlevel trough will track eastward into the Northwest on Sunday.
Preceding the trough, related forcing for ascent and sufficient
midlevel moisture will support isolated to widely scattered
thunderstorms across the Intermountain West during the
afternoon/evening. Inverted-V soundings (characterized by 0.5-0.7
inch PW) and modest storm motions will favor mostly dry
thunderstorms across northern CA, southeastern OR, far northwestern
NV, and southwestern ID -- with a mix of wet/dry storms farther
north in east-central OR. These storms will pose a risk of isolated
ignitions over any receptive fuels and strong outflow winds.

Within the base of the trough, a belt of moderate (30-40 kt)
midlevel westerly flow will overspread a deep/well-mixed boundary
layer across the Great Basin during the afternoon. As a result,
breezy/gusty west-southwesterly surface winds and single-digit RH
will yield elevated fire-weather conditions.
