Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1205 AM CDT Mon Aug 31 2026

Valid 011200Z - 021200Z

...Synopsis...
An offshore upper low will evolve into an open wave and approach the
northern California coast by Tuesday afternoon. By Wednesday
morning, the mid-level jet will pivot into the northern Great Basin.
Similar to Monday, a surface trough will develop in the Northwest
into much of the western Great Basin. Downslope winds will likely be
stronger than on Monday, however. Winds could reach 15-20 mph with
localized 20-25 mph possible. The late timing of the mid-level jet
will tend to mitigate a greater fire weather threat. RH will again
fall to 15-20%. Very dry fuels will continue to support an elevated
fire weather threat.
