Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1258 AM CDT Sun Aug 11 2024

Valid 121200Z - 131200Z

...Synopsis...
A co*pact shortwave trough will pivot northeastward into the
northern Great Basin on Monday. This feature will push a surface
boundary into the Northwest.

Dry and windy conditions are most likely ahead of the surface
boundary across a large portion of Nevada into southern Idaho. Along
with a stronger pressure gradient, mid-level winds will also be
enhanced with the trough overhead leading to stronger gusts as well.
Winds will reach 15-20 mph with some local areas of 20-25 mph. RH
will fall into the 10-15% by the afternoon. Elevated fire weather is
expected.

Forcing for ascent in the Northwest will be relatively weak as the
trough will be displaced to the south. There is some potential for
isolated thunderstorms developing in central/eastern Oregon. Storm
motions would be fast enough that some of this activity could be dry
if it develops, but confidence in that scenario is low.
