...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
...Dry Thunderstorms...
As a renewed monsoonal surge inundates the Southwest and eastern
Great Basin with PWATs near and exceeding 1 inch, thunderstorms are
forecast to transition to a much wetter mode Thursday. The latest
fuels guidance suggests area fuels have been significantly tempered
in the mid to high elevations by several days of accumulations.
Despite scattered storm and lightning coverage, dry thunder concerns
are now likely below thresholds for IsoDryT highlights. Occasional
drier flashes my still find very spotty receptive fuels outside of
the wetter storms across northwestern UT, but the overall risk for
dry lightning is forecast to decrease. Please see the prior
discussion for more information.

...Synopsis...
Slight upper ridging will prevail across the Interior West as mainly
zonal flow beco*es established across the northern half of the CONUS
tomorrow/Thursday. Mildly dry and windy conditions will develop
ahead of the surface cold front across the southern High Plains
tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile, locally Elevated surface winds and RH
may occur in terrain-favoring areas of the Great Basin by afternoon
peak heating. No Elevated or Critical highlights have been added
this outlook, since fire weather conditions are expected to be
favorable only on a spotty basis across the western Plains into the
Interior West. As in previous days, lingering monsoonal moisture
will support high-based thunderstorm development atop patchy
critical fuels over the eastern Great Basin, where isolated dry
thunderstorm highlights have once again been introduced.
