...Synopsis...
Mid-level flow is expected to strengthen across the northwestern
U.S. as a more pronounced mid-level trough overspreads the Pacific
Northwest tomorrow/Friday. While scattered thunderstorms may support
a dry strike or two in a locally more receptive fuel bed across the
northern Rockies, a slightly more appreciable fire-weather spread
threat may exist across the northern Great Basin closer to the
mid-level trough. The stronger flow aloft will overspread a dry
boundary layer to the lee of the Cascades southeastward into the
northern Great Basin, promoting at least locally Elevated dry/windy
surface conditions during the afternoon. Highlights have been
withheld this outlook given the more localized conditions
overlapping spotty fuels.
Surface lee troughing will also increase across the central Plains,
along with strong southerly surface flow, encouraging locally to
widespread Elevated dry and windy conditions. However, recent
appreciable rainfall accumulations, especially across central
Nebraska into the Dakotas, has likely dampened fuels to a degree,
precluding fire weather highlights this outlook.
