...Synopsis...
Ridging will remain dominant across much of the western and central
US as very warm and very dry conditions persist. A shortwave trough
along the northwestern periphery of the mid-level anticyclone will
move ashore across the West Coast later in the day. Acco*panying
stronger mid-level flow should gradually expand across the Great
Basin and southern Cascades, bolstering modest surface winds for a
few hours. Across the Southwest, monsoon thunderstorms are expected
to remain mostly wet, while very warm conditions (temperatures
100F+) and weak winds will continue across the Plains.

...Northern Great Basin and southern Cascades...
Modest westerly winds through the higher terrain are forecast across
much of northern NV and southeastern OR today. Mid-level flow is
forecast to slowly weaken through the morning before rebounding
ahead of the trough moving onshore across the Pacific Northwest. As
a result, low-level winds should remain modest through the first
half of the day. However, hi-res guidance does show increasing
probabilities for sustained 15-20 mph winds later in the afternoon
coincident with sub 15% RH across the northern Great Basin/southern
Cascades. Given dry area fuels, elevated fire weather conditions may
develop later this afternoon, persisting into the evening.
