.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0200 AM CDT Thu Jul 28 2022/

...Synopsis...
An amplified mid/upper-level ridge will remain in place over the
northwestern CONUS, while a belt of modest midlevel northwesterly
flow overspreads the northern Rockies. This large-scale pattern will
result in elevated fire-weather conditions over parts of southeast
OR, northern NV, and southwest ID -- where breezy northerly surface
winds near 15 mph will overlap 10-15 percent minimum RH.

In addition, isolated to widely scattered high-based thunderstorms
are expected over parts of the northern Rockies, and critically dry
fuels over this area will support isolated lightning-induced
ignitions away from any precipitation cores. An isolated storm or
two will also be possible along the Cascades in northern CA into
southern OR, though confidence in storm development is currently too
low for highlights here.

Farther north along/east of the Cascades in WA, breezy
terrain-enhanced surface winds and 10-15 percent RH could lead to
locally elevated conditions during the afternoon. However, these
conditions should generally be confined to terrain-favored areas and
appear too localized for Elevated highlights.
