Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0156 AM CDT Tue Jul 26 2022
Valid 261200Z - 271200Z
...Synopsis...
Elevated fire-weather conditions are expected over parts of
northwest OK this afternoon, as 15 mph sustained southerly surface
winds (with higher gusts) develop in response to a weak surface low
over the area. The breezy surface winds, coupled with 20 percent
minimum RH and highly receptive fuels warrant the Elevated
highlights -- especially given ongoing fires over the area.
Over the Intermountain West/Northern Great Basin, a belt of moderate
northwesterly midlevel flow and hot/dry boundary-layer conditions
could support spotty elevated fire-weather conditions during the
afternoon. This will especially be the case from southeast OR
eastward across southern ID into southwest WY. However, these
conditions look too localized/marginal for highlights. In addition,
an isolated high-based thunderstorm or two cannot be ruled out along
the Cascades from far north-central CA into south-central OR. If
this activity can develop, an isolated lightning-induced ignition
would be possible owing to very dry fuels across the area. With that
said, confidence in the development of any more than a storm or two
is too low for dry thunderstorm highlights at this time.
