Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1057 AM CDT Sun Aug 07 2022

Valid 071700Z - 081200Z

The forecast remains on track with only minor adjustments required
based on latest hi-res convective guidance. See the previous
discussion below for details.

..Moore.. 08/07/2022

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1229 AM CDT Sun Aug 07 2022/

...Synopsis...
A mid-level short-wave trough positioned over the northern Plains
will shift east into the Great Lakes region throughout the day.
Meanwhile, an upper-level ridge will build across the northern
Rockies, and a closed upper-level low will approach the northern
California/southern Oregon coast. At the surface, a cold front will
continue a slow progression across the northern/central High Plains.

...Isolated Dry Thunderstorms: Central/Southern Oregon/far Northern
California/far Northwest Nevada...
The area delineating potential for isolated dry thunderstorms has
been expanded slightly toward the northwest, based on 00z CAM
guidance. Coverage of this activity should remain isolated,
supported by forecast PWAT values still remaining near or below
0.75-0.8 inches, and fuels across the region remain highly receptive
to large-fire spread.

...Wind/RH: Northern Oregon/Southern Washington...
Localized elevated conditions may develop during the afternoon, as a
hot/dry airmass will be present over the region. Locally enhanced
offshore flow will likely occur in terrain-favored regions of the
Cascades. Given the isolated nature of the threat, however, no
highlights have been introduced at this time.
