Along the northwestern periphery of an expansive upper ridge over the West, a weak midlevel disturbance and accompanying influx of midlevel moisture will overspread parts of the Northwest on Monday. While this should promote isolated to widely scattered high-based showers, the latest forecast soundings suggest that EL temperatures will be too warm for lightning with this activity. While an isolated strike or two cannot be completely ruled out over the higher terrain, confidence is currently too low to introduce an Isolated Dry Thunderstorm area. Elsewhere, a limited overlap of dry/windy conditions atop receptive fuels will reduce fire-weather concerns across the CONUS. ..Weinman.. 07/19/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
