Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0113 AM CDT Tue Aug 30 2022

Valid 301200Z - 311200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns will remain limited today across the CONUS. A
broad upper ridge will continue to build to the west across the
Great Basin today. This will favor warming temperatures and mostly
dry conditions across much of the West that will aid in drying
fuels. However, this will also result in meager low to mid-level
flow, mitigating overall fire weather potential. Localized concerns
may emerge across parts of the northern Great Basin and parts of the
Pacific Northwest.

...Northern Great Basin into eastern Oregon...
Locally breezy winds are possible this afternoon across the northern
Great Basin into parts of eastern OR as deep boundary-layer mixing,
co*bined with local terrain enhancements, support occasional gusts
to 15-20 mph. Antecedent warm/dry conditions with RH values in the
teens will allow for pockets of elevated conditions. Such conditions
will likely remain too limited spatially and temporally to require
highlights, but may result in local fire weather concerns -
especially given the potential for holdover fires from early-morning
lightning strikes across portions of northwest NV. Additional
isolated showers/thunderstorms are possible this afternoon across
eastern OR/western ID as the weak upper disturbance lifts
north/northeast, but the probability of thunderstorms remains too
limited to introduce lightning-driven highlights.
