Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0300 PM CDT Sat Aug 24 2024
Valid 251200Z - 261200Z
The Elevated area in Wyoming was removed with this update, as the
latest guidance consensus suggests increasing cloud coverage and
precipitation/thunderstorms overspreading the area through the
afternoon. While strong to severe outflow winds may acco*pany storms
and pose some risk of fire-spread, the overlap of dry/windy
conditions appears limited. For details on the severe-thunderstorm
risk, see the SPC Day 2 Convective Outlook.
Additionally, the Isolated Dry Thunderstorm highlights were trimmed
over northeast Nevada -- where RH/moisture should be too high for an
appreciable risk of dry thunderstorms.

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough positioned over the West will lift northeast into
the Northern Rockies while undergoing gradual weakening. Still,
enough residual enhanced mid-level flow will overspread adjacent
regions of the Northern Rockies, to result in afternoon sustained
surface winds of 15-20 mph and RH values into the low 20s F. These
dry/breezy conditions will promote Elevated fire-weather conditions
across portions of Wyoming where fuels remain at least marginally
receptive to large-fire spread.
In addition, an area delineating the potential for isolated dry
thunderstorms has been added for portions of the northern Great
Basin into the Northern Rockies. Isolated storms should develop
during the afternoon in association with forcing/ascent with the
mid-level trough. This highlight has been confined to areas where
fuels appear receptive to large-fire spread.
