...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE GREAT
BASIN...

No significant changes have been made to the Elevated and Critical
areas. Critical conditions still appear most likely this afternoon
from northeast NV/northwest UT into southern ID, with elevated to
locally critical conditions surrounding this area from the northern
Sierras into the north-central High Plains. Stronger winds are
already noted across parts of southern ID this morning, while winds
should increase elsewhere across the region in conjunction with
continued heating/mixing and RH reductions. See the previous
discussion below for more information.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0144 AM CDT Sat Aug 27 2022/

...Synopsis...
A pronounced mid-level shortwave trough will progress across the
northwestern U.S. today, promoting scattered high-based
thunderstorms across the northern Rockies and dry/windy conditions
across the northern Great Basin. Critically dry and windy surface
conditions are most likely across northeast Nevada into southeast
Idaho by late afternoon, though locally Critical conditions are also
possible anywhere within the broader Elevated highlights, spanning
from the northern Sierra to the northern High Plains. Elevated and
Critical highlights have been withheld across southern into central
Montana since recent rainfall has likely dampened fuels over several
locales. The best chance for a couple of dry strikes as well as
gusty, erratic thunderstorm winds would also be in central into
southern Montana by late afternoon. Again, the lack of more
widespread receptive fuels precludes dry thunderstorm highlights.
