.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1240 AM CDT Fri Oct 11 2024/

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough approaching the western U.S. coast will result in
modest west-southwesterly flow over the Great Basin throughout
Friday into Saturday. While the overall threat for significant
wildfire spread is low, daytime heating (and resulting
boundary-layer mixing) will drop relative humidity values to 10-15%,
and winds will reach 15-20 MPH. These conditions overlap with
modestly receptive fuels, with ERC values varying between the 80th
and 90th annual percentiles, warranting Elevated highlights across
eastern Nevada and western Utah.
