Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0158 AM CDT Thu Aug 01 2024

Valid 021200Z - 031200Z

...Synopsis...
Along the western periphery of an expansive midlevel anticyclone
centered over the central Rockies/Intermountain West, a midlevel
vorticity maximum will advance northward from southern CA into OR
through the period. Preceding this feature, a plume of sufficient
midlevel moisture, atop a diurnally deepening boundary layer, will
support isolated to widely scattered high-based thunderstorms.

Storms will develop over CA during the afternoon, and gradually
spread/develop northward (in tandem with the vorticity maximum)
across the Northwest into the overnight hours. Given dry fuels
across many of these areas, isolated lightning-induced ignitions
will be possible. Confidence in thunderstorm development is lower
with northward extent into WA, though sufficient instability and
glancing ascent ahead of a midlevel trough could still yield
isolated storms.
