Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0152 AM CDT Sun Jun 19 2022

Valid 191200Z - 201200Z

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR NORTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA INTO
EAST-CENTRAL UTAH...

...Synopsis...
The upper-level trough within the Great Basin will continue to
slowly shift eastward before beginning to lift northeast late today.
A surface boundary will move slowly through Utah into western
Colorado. Within the northern Plains, a surface low will move
northeast and stronger flow approaching the Divide will help to
deepen a lee trough stretching into the central High Plains.

...Utah/Arizona...
Strong mid-level winds and an enhanced surface pressure gradient
near the boundary will promote 20-25 mph sustained winds from
northern Arizona into parts of southern/eastern Utah. RH could once
again fall into the single digits. RH should be lower in western
Utah with some increase with eastward extent. Even with some
uncertainty in RH in eastern Utah due to some lingering moisture and
potential cloud cover, values less than 15% are expected for a few
hours along with the strong winds.

...Central High Plains...
With lee trough to the west and a surface high to the east, surface
winds of 15-25 mph are possible during the afternoon. With continued
moisture return into the area and increasing cloud cover during the
day, RH may only fall to near 20% for most locations. An elevated
fire weather threat is expected.
