Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0452 PM CDT Wed Jul 17 2024

Valid 191200Z - 251200Z

High pressure will build across the western US with very warm
temperatures and dry conditions through the extended period. As a
weak shortwave exits the northern Rockies, shallow mid-level
moisture will support isolated dry thunderstorm chances across
eastern Nevada/western Utah into central/eastern Idaho and southern
Montana D3/Friday - D4/Saturday. Fuels within these regions remain
critically dry, with only pockets of wetting rainfall in the last
5-7 days of monsoon activity. 

Monsoonal moisture will remain across the Great Basin and gradually
shift northward D3/Friday - D6/Monday as a secondary shortwave
rounds the ridge, clipping the Pacific Northwest. This will bring
potential for an increase in thunderstorm coverage, as well as
potential for increasing surface winds. Elevated fire-weather
concerns may reemerge, along with potential for isolated dry
thunderstorm chances. For now, confidence in timing and northern
extent of moisture return remains too low to include areas at this
time.
