Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0145 AM CDT Tue Aug 09 2022

Valid 091200Z - 101200Z

...Synopsis...
An upper ridge will persist across the western CONUS as a mid-level
closed low impinges on the West Coast today. Strong 500 mb flow in
advance of the mid-level closed low will overspread the Cascades
during the afternoon, providing adequate upper support for
initiating several thunderstorms when considering the presence of
low to mid-level monsoonal moisture. While storms will be fast
moving, the concentration of storms (several of which may be
training) along with precipitable water values approaching 1.25
inches suggest that wetting rains should acco*pany at least most of
the storms. Nonetheless, the abundance of storms will also increase
the odds of peripheral lightning strikes away from cores. Downward
momentum of the stronger mid-level flow in thunderstorms may also
support strong, erratic gusts. As such, isolated dry thunderstorm
highlights have been maintained for the co*bined threats of
peripheral strikes within spotty dry fuel beds and gusty
thunderstorm winds, which can exacerbate ongoing wildfires.
