...Synopsis...
Southwesterly flow aloft over the western CONUS will persist for the
next 24 hours ahead of an approaching mid-level wave. This will
maintain dry and breezy conditions across much of the Great Basin
for today, resulting in areas of elevated fire weather conditions.
Unseasonably hot and dry conditions are expected across much of
central TX. While winds will generally be benign, very low humidity
and curing grasses will yield at least a low-end fire weather
concern for the region.
...Great Basin...
Fire weather concerns will once again focus across portions of the
Great Basin for this afternoon. Early-morning water vapor imagery
shows a dry, subsident air mass in place from Baja CA into the
eastern Great Basin, which was sampled well by regional 00 UTC
soundings. While some mid/upper-level moisture will advect into the
region in the form of scattered high clouds today, mostly sunny
skies coupled with the antecedent dry air mass will result in
another day of widespread 10-20% RH. Latest fuel guidance continues
to show high ERCs above the 90th percentile across eastern NV into
adjacent areas of UT and ID. While this region will be on the
periphery of the stronger southwesterly flow aloft, deep diurnal
mixing will maintain 15-20 mph winds with frequent gusts to 25 mph.
Consequently, elevated conditions appear likely with sporadic
critical conditions possible.
