Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1233 AM CDT Tue Sep 06 2022

Valid 061200Z - 071200Z

...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns will persist across parts of the Great Basin
and northern/central Rockies today as a dominant upper high
maintains hot and dry conditions across the western CONUS. Pockets
of elevated fire weather conditions are possible across much of the
Great Basin and northern Rockies, but are expected to be fairly
transient in nature. A more robust fire weather threat will likely
emerge across parts of the northern Sierra Nevada and southern
Cascades under a belt of stronger mid-level flow.

...Northern Sierra Nevada/southern Cascades...
An open trough moving into the northeast Pacific will bolster
mid-level gradient winds across the Pacific Northwest this
afternoon. This will likely coincide with peak diurnal
heating/boundary-layer mixing, which will aid in downward transfer
of stronger gusts - especially in the lee of terrain features.
Latest ensemble guidance maintains reasonably high probability for
15-20 mph winds with gusts near 25 mph by late afternoon. co*bined
with afternoon RH minimums in the low teens, a few hours of
sustained elevated fire weather conditions remain likely.
