Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0201 PM CDT Thu Aug 15 2024

Valid 161200Z - 171200Z

An Elevated risk area has been introduced to portions of southeast
CA into southern/eastern NV. Latest guidance continues to show high
confidence in a corridor of 20-25 mph winds emanating out of the
southern Sierra Nevada with RH values in the single digits. Fuel
conditions continue to be somewhat marginal across eastern NV, but
beco*e increasingly dry with westward extent. Given the high
confidence in reaching critical fire weather thresholds, an Elevated
risk area has been introduced where the overlap of 20+ mph winds
with sub-10% RH and ERCs at/above the 80th percentile is greatest.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0112 AM CDT Thu Aug 15 2024/

...Synopsis...
Friday will be characterized by west-southwesterly mid-level flow
across the Western U.S., with a shortwave trough approaching the
Oregon/Washington coasts late in the period. This will support some
dry/windy conditions across portions of southern Nevada and western
Utah, with relative humidity dropping to 10-15% with winds reaching
20-25 MPH. However, these conditions will largely occur over fuels
that have received recent wetting rainfall or are only modestly dry,
precluding highlights at this time.
