Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0300 PM CDT Fri Aug 23 2024

Valid 241200Z - 251200Z

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN/CENTRAL
WYOMING...
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN UTAH INTO
SOUTHEAST NEVADA...

The primary change with this update was the addition of a Critical
area over portions of western UT into southeast NV. Here, A
tightening pressure gradient, and deep boundary-layer mixing into
strong southwesterly flow aloft, will support 25-35 mph sustained
southwesterly surface winds and single-digit RH. While fuels appear
modestly receptive over the area, the strong/gusty winds will still
support the potential for large-fire spread. For additional details,
see the previous discussion below.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0148 AM CDT Fri Aug 23 2024/

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough over the Pacific Northwest will shift east and
allow a belt of enhanced mid-level flow to overspread parts of the
eastern Great Basin and the Northern Rockies. Afternoon
heating/mixing will allow for sustained winds of 20-25 mph across
the region while RH values fall into the upper teens and low 20s F.
Fuels across portions far eastern Great Basin appear marginally
receptive, and Elevated highlights have been maintained for this
region, whereas fuels across parts of Wyoming appear more receptive
where a Critical delineation has been added.

In addition, potential for isolated dry thunderstorms has been
introduced for the northern Great Basin in association with forcing
from the advancing trough. Fuels in this region remain receptive to
large-fire spread amid PWAT values that are projected to remain
below 0.75 inches.
