Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0224 PM CDT Thu Aug 08 2024

Valid 091200Z - 101200Z

A few tweaks were made to the Isolated Dry Thunder area across
western Montana to account for recent precipitation and impact to
fuel moisture. Otherwise, the previous forecast remains on track.

..Supinie.. 08/08/2024

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0155 AM CDT Thu Aug 08 2024/

...Synopsis...
A shortwave trough will traverse the northern periphery of the
western US ridge on Friday with a modest increase in moisture across
the Pacific Northwest, mainly west of the Cascades. Along the high
terrain of the Cascades, isolated dry thunderstorms will be possible
with precipitable water values forecast to be around 0.50-0.75 in.
While some mix of wet/dry thunderstorms may evolve, fuels in this
region are critically dry and will support new ignitions.

Further isolated thunderstorm development is expected across Idaho
into southwestern Montana, western Wyoming, and northern Utah.
Precipitable water values are expected to be around 0.50-0.60 inch
with very dry low-level profiles. This will support high-based
storms with little to no precipitation. Fuels within this region
remain in the 80th-90th percentile for dryness and receptive to new
ignitions.
