...Synopsis...
Dry thunderstorms will continue to pose a fire weather concern
across parts of the Great Basin and Pacific Northwest on Tuesday.
The gradual breakdown of the Four Corners ridge will not only
continue to promote thunderstorm chances, but will also mute surface
pressure-gradient winds across the region. A gradual moistening
trend noted in recent upper-air and satellite observations is
forecast to continue into Tuesday across the Great Basin and central
Rockies with PWAT values above 0.75 inch beco*ing more co*mon.
Recent forecast soundings and ensemble QPF solutions suggest that
moistening will be greatest from AZ/NM into CO, WY, and perhaps
parts of ID. Areas west of this axis will continue to see PWAT
values around or below 0.75 inch and the potential for dry
thunderstorms. In the absence of wetting rainfall over the next 24
hours, fuels across this region should remain receptive as
thunderstorms initiate Tuesday afternoon. In addition to the
potential for new fire starts from dry lightning, outflow winds from
decaying thunderstorms will continue to pose a localized fire
weather concern for ongoing fires across the region.
