Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0204 PM CDT Sun Aug 18 2024

Valid 191200Z - 201200Z

The previous forecast remains valid with minimal changes. Elevated
to near-critical fire-weather conditions are possible over the Great
Basin and the eastern Sierra. Confidence in sustained 20+ mph winds
remains too low to introduce critical probabilities at this time.
However, drying fuels and occasional gusts may support a few hours
of near to locally critical fire-weather concerns over parts of NV.
See the prior discussion.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0148 AM CDT Sun Aug 18 2024/

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough and corresponding stronger flow aloft will
continue to impinge on the West Coast while an upper ridge remains
in place over the central Rockies toward the southern Plains
tomorrow (Monday). Modest isallobaric surface flow preceding the
upper trough, along with boundary-layer mixing, should support dry
and breezy conditions across portions of the Harney Basin and Great
Basin areas by afternoon. Elevated highlights have been introduced
to portions of southwestern into central Nevada, as well as
southeastern Oregon and immediate surrounding areas. Over these
locations, 15+ mph sustained southwesterly surface winds will
coincide with 15-20 percent RH for a few hours around afternoon peak
heating, amid fuels receptive to wildfire spread.
