.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0129 AM CDT Sat Aug 24 2024/

...Synopsis...
A highly amplified mid-level trough will progress through portions
of the interior West throughout the day. A mid-level jet streak will
acco*pany this trough along its southern/eastern periphery. Daytime
heating/mixing will allow these winds to mix toward the surface.
This process will result in southwesterly sustained surface winds of
25-35 mph and RH values into the teens/single digits F across
portions of western Utah into southeast Nevada, amid marginally
receptive fuels, supporting Critical fire-weather conditions.

Similar wind/RH conditions supporting Critical fire-weather
conditions will occur across portions of northern/central Wyoming,
albeit with sustained winds of 20-25 mph and RH values into the
teens and low 20s F, amid receptive fuels.

Farther west, upper forcing for ascent associated with the mid-level
trough will foster isolated dry thunderstorms over portions of
northern Nevada and vicinity. Fuels in this region remain receptive
to large-fire spread with PWAT values ranging from 0.5-0.75 inches.
