During the day on Monday, a mid-level shortwave trough is expected to traverse California and into the Great Basin, and the surface mass response to this feature will tighten the sea-level pressure gradient across the area, resulting in strong surface winds. With seasonably strong vertical mixing, RH in the Great Basin and Four Corners region is expected to be around 5-15%. The best overlap of windy conditions and dry fuels is expected to be across parts of southeast Nevada, southwest Utah, and far northwest Arizona, where Critical highlights have been added. In this area, winds are expected to be near 20-30 mph with gusts as high as 35-40 mph underneath the core of the mid-level jet associated with the shortwave trough. Surrounding that Critical area, winds may be weaker and fuels less receptive to fire spread. However, this still warrants an Elevated area across parts of the Great Basin and Four Corners region. ..Supinie.. 06/15/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
