Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0158 PM CDT Fri Aug 12 2022

Valid 131200Z - 141200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Eastern Washington...
A few hours of dry and breezy conditions are possible ahead of a dry
frontal passage across the eastern Cascades and eastern WA Saturday.
Enhanced by the frontal pressure gradient and local terrain, a few
gusts to near 15 mph may develop as diurnal RH drops below 30%. With
dry area fuels and recent lightning, locally elevated fire weather
conditions may develop through the afternoon.

Otherwise, see the prior discussion for more information.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0155 AM CDT Fri Aug 12 2022/

...Synopsis...
Similar to Day 1, upper ridging will persist across the central
CONUS, with mainly weak mid-level impulses pivoting around the upper
ridge. Given overall weak forcing across the U.S., the threat for
widespread significant wildfire spread appears relatively low,
though some localized concerns exist. Modest mid-level flow
overspreading a dry boundary layer across the northwest U.S. may
support locally Elevated conditions in terrain-favoring areas with
dry fuels. Monsoonal moisture will continue to support the
initiation of scattered to potentially numerous thunderstorms across
the Intermountain West. While mainly wet storms are likely,
occasional strikes away from precipitation cores into dry fuel beds
should be expected. Lastly, modest lee troughing of the Plains may
promote a couple instances of locally Elevated surface conditions
atop dry fuels, mainly during the mid afternoon hours.
