Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1126 AM CDT Thu Aug 22 2024

Valid 221700Z - 231200Z

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN
NEVADA...

...17z Update...
No changes were made to the currently valid outlook. Elevated to
critical fire-weather conditions are likely over much of the Great
Basin. A few thunderstorms are also possible over parts of eastern
ID late this evening and overnight.

...Southern Pains...
Gusty southerly flow is expected east of a lee trough over parts of
the southern Plains this afternoon. 10-15 mph winds and RH below 25%
over parts of west TX and eastern NM will overlap with areas of very
dry fuels, supporting a locally elevated fire-weather risk.
Confidence in areal coverage and duration remains too low to
introduce an area. See previous discussion.

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will amplify across the Interior West as an upper
ridge persists across the central U.S. today. Strong mid-level flow
from the upper trough, overspreading a deepening boundary layer over
the Great Basin, will support dry and windy conditions through the
afternoon. 15-20 mph sustained southwesterly surface winds,
overlapping with 15-20 percent RH and fuels receptive to fire
spread, will result in widespread Elevated conditions for several
hours. However, portions of central Nevada may also experience
higher sustained southerly surface winds (i.e. over 25 mph),
warranting Critical highlights.
