...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
GREAT BASIN...
...Synopsis...
A similar upper-level pattern to Friday will persist within the
Great Basin on Saturday. Some modest weakening of the mid-level
winds can be expected by the end of the day, however. Similarly, the
ridge in the Plains will continue to push mid-level moisture into
the eastern Great Basin. A surface trough will remain within the
central Basin while another lee trough in the central High Plains
will deepen during the day.
...Great Basin...
Despite a modest drop-off in the mid-level winds, widespread
critical conditions are again expected for southern/eastern Nevada
into western Utah. Winds of 20-30 mph will overlap with single digit
RH in the Nevada and around 15% in western Utah.
Thunderstorms are also possible within the Four Corners vicinity.
With the additional mid-level moisture working its way north and
west, it appears that dry thunderstorms will beco*e more isolated
than on Friday.
...Central High Plains...
Dry southerly return flow is expected again on the western flank of
the surface ridge. The lee trough that will develop will promote
15-20 mph winds. RH will probably fall to 15-20%, but this is more
uncertain with eastward extent. Elevated to perhaps locally critical
fire weather will occur.
