Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0157 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 2024
Valid 151200Z - 161200Z
The previous forecast remains generally on track. The main change to
the Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook update was to add Elevated highlights
to portions of the southern High Plains. Across portions of the
northwestern Texas Panhandle and adjacent areas to the north,
initially dry southerly surface flow (driven by lee troughing) will
promote 15 mph sustained winds amid 15-20 percent RH on Sunday
afternoon. Fuels in this region are modestly dry, warranting the
addition of fire weather highlights. A mix of wet and dry
thunderstorms is possible across portions of northeastern Nevada
into Idaho during the afternoon as well. However, the marginal
receptiveness of fuels, along with the wet/dry thunderstorm mix,
suggests that isolated dry thunderstorm highlights are not currently
needed.

...Synopsis...
Ahead of an amplifying large-scale trough over the West Coast,
enhanced deep-layer meridional flow will overspread a diurnally
deepening boundary layer (15-20 percent RH) over portions of the
southern Great Basin. This, coupled with a tightening pressure
gradient along the southern periphery of an evolving surface
cyclone, will yield 20-25 mph sustained southerly surface winds.
These winds will overlap the lowest RH over portions of southern NV,
and given modestly receptive fuels here, elevated fire-weather
conditions are expected.
