Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1149 AM CDT Mon Aug 19 2024

Valid 191700Z - 201200Z

...17z Update...
No changes were made to the current outlook. Dry and breezy
conditions may support elevated fire-weather potential from the
eastern Sierra and across parts of the Great Basin. Scattered
thunderstorms may also support some risk for lightning over parts of
ID and the northern Rockies. However, confidence in the coverage of
dry storms and overlap with receptive fuels is too low for IsoDryT
probabilities.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0157 AM CDT Mon Aug 19 2024/

...Synopsis...
Strong southwesterly mid-level flow will overspread the Interior
West as a mid-level trough meanders over the West Coast and an upper
ridge persists over the central U.S. today. Boundary-layer mixing to
the lee of the Sierra will promote windy conditions amid 10-20
percent RH by afternoon. Elevated highlights have been maintained
across portions of the Harney Basin in southeast Oregon and adjacent
areas, as well as southwest into central Nevada, where the
aforementioned dry and windy conditions should persist for several
hours atop fuels receptive to wildfire spread.
