Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0423 PM CDT Thu Aug 22 2024

Valid 241200Z - 301200Z

An unseasonably deep upper low over the West Coast is forecast to
move onshore over the Northwest through the weekend. Stronger
southwesterly flow east of the low will overspread a modestly dry
air mass across parts of the Great Basin and Northwest through the
weekend. This should support elevated to critical fire-weather
potential and some risk for isolated dry thunderstorms.

...Great Basin and Rockies...
Strong west/southwesterly flow will continue to overspread the Great
Basin and Rockies ahead of the upper low over the West. A cold front
over the West coast will move inland shunting the warmer and drier
air farther east. Widespread RH below 20% and wind of 20-25 mph are
likely. A corridor of elevated to critical fire-weather conditions
is expected over parts of eastern NV and across WY D3/Saturday. 

Elevated to critical fire-weather conditions may continue into
D4/Sunday before the upper low moves east and temporarily limits the
fire-weather threat. While confidence is lower, owing to varied
model solutions, at least some risk for dry and breezy conditions
continues over central WY and the Rockies into early next week.

...Dry Thunder...
As the upper low progresses eastward this weekend and early next
week, at least some risk for occasional dry storms will continue
over the northern Rockies and eastern Great Basin. Storms will
gradually transition to a wetter mode as the increase in moisture
should gradually limit fuels and chances for wetting rains increase.
