Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0156 AM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025

Valid 161200Z - 171200Z

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF SOUTHEAST
NEVADA...SOUTHWESTERN UTAH...AND FAR NORTHWESTERN ARIZONA...

...Synopsis...
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.
