Valid 241700Z - 251200Z
Added an Isolated Dry Thunderstorm delineation across the
south-central Sierra. Morning forecast soundings and CAM guidance
support the threat for isolated thunderstorm development.
No changes were made to the ongoing IsoDryT area in northwest
Arizona and southern Utah. Numerous storms are expected across
north-central Arizona where fuels are also dry, but PWAT will be
slightly higher across this region. Therefore, no scattered DryT
area is needed.

...Synopsis...
Large-scale upper ridging will prevail across much of the central
and southern CONUS as a weak mid-level trough traverses the interior
West today. Some dry and breezy conditions may develop across the
southern High Plains in association with surface lee troughing, but
fuel receptiveness is expected to remain modest enough to temper
more widespread wildfire growth. Monsoonal mid-level moisture will
continue to meander across the Southwest into the Four Corners and
foster isolated to potentially scattered thunderstorm development
during the afternoon. While storm motion will be slow, forecast
soundings depict inverted-v profiles, where fuels are highly
receptive to fire spread. Isolated dry thunderstorm highlights were
added where the greatest chance of drier thunderstorms will overlap
the most receptive fuels.
