Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1238 AM CDT Fri Aug 09 2024

Valid 091200Z - 101200Z

...Synopsis...
A subdued upper-level ridge will persist within the Great Basin into
part of the northern Rockies. In the Northwest, a low-amplitude
upper trough will make gradual progress eastward through the day.

Some isolated thunderstorm activity, some of which may be dry, is
possible in the northern Cascades as well as central Idaho into
western Wyoming. Storm motions in Washington will a touch on the
slow side, make a mix of wet/dry storms probable. Storms have some
potential to be drier in the northern Rockies given the belt of
stronger mid-level winds aloft. Fuels within the terrain have
generally received lower rainfall amounts recently and fuels indices
suggest some degree of receptiveness.

Marginally dry and breezy conditions are also expected in the lee of
the northern Sierra into adjacent parts of the northern Great Basin.
Winds will not be overly strong and any sustained elevated
conditions are likely to be spatially limited.
