Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

Valid 251700Z - 261200Z
Based on the latest observational data and high-resolution guidance,
an Elevated area was added over portions of southwest/central Utah
with this update. Here, breezy southwesterly surface winds
(sustained 20-25 mph) will overlap 15-20 percent RH ahead of a cold
front this afternoon. Despite slightly cooler temperatures and
higher RH than previous days, the breezy/gusty winds amid a couple
ongoing fire incidents warrant the highlights. Elsewhere, the
previous forecast (see below) remains on track.

...Synopsis...
A mid/upper-level trough is forecast to gradually shift from the
Northern Great Basin into the Northern Rockies through tonight.
Ascent associated with the trough should foster isolated to widely
scattered thunderstorms this afternoon/evening across portions of
Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and Nevada. While a mix of wet/dry
thunderstorms is expected, fast-moving thunderstorms atop receptive
fuels may promote new ignitions, especially along the periphery of
any heavier thunderstorm precipitation cores. In addition, gusty and
erratic outflow winds are possible with the strongest storms. Please
see the SPC Day 1 Convective Outlook for more information on the
nearby severe thunderstorm risk across portions of Wyoming.
