Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0416 PM CDT Thu Jul 18 2024
Valid 201200Z - 261200Z
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
central/eastern Idaho and southern Montana D3/Saturday. Fuels within
these regions remain critically dry, supporting inclusion of a 10%
risk area.
Monsoonal moisture will remain across the Great Basin and gradually
shift northward D3/Saturday - D5/Monday as a secondary shortwave
rounds the ridge, clipping the Pacific Northwest. This will bring
potential for cooler temperatures, 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. A 10% region was introduced
across central/eastern Oregon with this outlook on D3/Saturday. Fire
activity in this region has been very active, with fuels remaining
critically dry. More areas may be needed into central/western
Washington through D6/Tuesday. For now, confidence remains low.
