Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0124 AM CDT Tue Aug 06 2024

Valid 061200Z - 071200Z

...Synopsis...
...Isolated Dry Thunderstorms...
A shortwave trough will bring forcing for ascent into the northern
and central Rockies today. Mid-level moisture above drier
boundary-layer conditions will favor dry thunderstorm chances, with
little wetting rainfall expected. Fuels from southwestern MT,
southeastward into WY, eastern UT, and northwestern CO are
sufficiently dry for new lightning ignitions. In addition, gusty and
erratic outflow winds will be possible with any stronger storms that
develop.

...Elevated Fire Weather, Snake River Plain Idaho...
As the shortwave advances across the northern/central Rockies, a
band of enhanced mid-level westerly flow will overspread portions of
Idaho and Montana this afternoon. An increase in winds is expected
across the Snake River Plain, where relative-humidity reductions to
10-15 percent will overlap sustained winds 15-20 mph. Occasional
localized critical conditions may be possible. Overall, this looks
to be too localized to include an area with this outlook.
