...Synopsis...
While broad cyclonic upper flow will prevail east of the Rockies,
and a mid-level shortwave trough impinges on the West Coast today,
deep-layer winds/forcing should be weak, with dry and windy
conditions expected to remain constrained to terrain-favoring areas.
While isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible across parts
of the Pacific Northwest into the northern Rockies, several of the
storms are expected to be wet. Spotty fuel beds may support isolated
lightning-induced ignitions. However, many earlier fire starts have
yet to grow rapidly, suggesting that fuels are modestly receptive at
best to significant wildfire spread. As such, dry thunderstorm
highlights have been withheld this outlook.
