Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0123 AM CDT Wed Jun 22 2022

Valid 231200Z - 241200Z

...Synopsis...
Upper-level ridging will persist in the Plains and Midwest on
Thursday. Farther west, the subtle shortwave trough in central
California will move northeastward through central Nevada/western
Utah. This feature will phase with a broader trough that will swing
through the Pacific Northwest into the northern Rockies.

...Great Basin...
The upper-level ridge will continue to push mid-level moisture into
the region. The timing of the mid-level shortwave trough will be
favorable for widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms from the
Sierra into east-central Nevada and adjacent west-central Utah.
Storms farther west have a greater potential for being a mix of wet
and dry storms as mid/upper-level winds will be weaker within the
weakening closed low. Storms within eastern Nevada are more likely
to be on the dry side of the spectrum due to the modestly stronger
flow aloft ahead of the subtle trough. Fuel information from GBCC
shows that there are critically dry fuels in southern Nevada that
transitions to less receptive fuels in east-central/northeast
Nevada. Scattered dry thunderstorms appear that they will have only
small overlap with critically dry fuels.
