The winds overlapping with relative humidity in the 15-20 percent range amid a very dry fuelscape will support elevated fire weather conditions across southwest Wyoming. Otherwise, fire weather concerns across much of the western U.S. will be mitigated by a building upper-level ridge bringing warming temperatures and generally light, terrain-driven winds. ..Williams.. 06/28/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0203 AM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025/ ...Synopsis... Upper ridging is forecast to steadily build over the West Coast Sunday, as weak troughing shifts eastward. As heights continue to rise, weakening the flow aloft over the northern Rockies, a cold front will move out of the Northwest ushering in a cooler and higher humidity air mass. Some residual mid-level flow will linger across WY and western CO Sunday, but surface winds are expected to be much weaker and will shift to northwesterly. The weaker winds, along with increasing humidity should limit broader fire-weather potential. Some localized dry and breezy conditions will remain possible over southwest WY, but widespread fire-weather concerns are not expected. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
