...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
A strong upper-level trough will begin to move onshore overnight
over the Pacific Northwest, with upper-level ridging stretching from
the Desert Southwest through the northern Rockies ahead of it. A
weaker mid-level shortwave trough is likely to precede the larger
upper-level trough and move from northern California into the
northern Rockies before weakening amid the building heights.
Monsoonal thunderstorms are likely to remain mostly along/east of
the Divide in Colorado and New Mexico, while still likely to develop
across portions southeast Arizona.

Hot, dry, and locally breezy conditions are likely across much of
the West, especially the Intermountain West, ahead of the
upper-level trough. Isolated drier thunderstorms are possible across
portions of central/eastern Idaho into southwest Montana during the
afternoon and evening, but forecast guidance indicates less than a
20% chance and mostly less than 10% chance of thunderstorms. Better
chances of thunderstorms are likely across portions of Wyoming but
are likely to be wetter and over less receptive fuels.
