Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1235 AM CDT Fri Aug 30 2024

Valid 301200Z - 311200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns are expected to remain limited for today
across the country. Dry conditions will persist across much of the
Great Basin and into parts of the Pacific Northwest and central
Rockies for this afternoon with RH minimums once again falling into
the teens and single digits. Upper-level ridging over the western
CONUS will promote mostly clear skies but weak synoptic/gradient
winds that should mitigate fire weather concerns.

Thunderstorm activity along the lower CO River Valley on Thursday
(yesterday) resulted in a mix of wet and dry thunderstorms based on
sporadic rainfall measurements and MRMS QPE. A similar mix of
wet/dry thunderstorms is expected again today across far southeast
NV into western AZ as weak mid-level ascent overspreads the fringe
of a modest monsoonal moisture plume. Latest fuel guidance suggests
lightning ignition efficiency/fuel dryness gradually increases from
far western AZ into southern NV, but the spatial coverage of
sufficiently dry fuel with appreciable dry lightning threat appears
too limited to introduce highlights.
