Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0246 PM CDT Thu Jul 18 2024

Valid 191200Z - 201200Z

The isolated dry thunderstorm area was reduced across
Utah/Colorado/Wyoming with this outlook in agreement with recent
trends in data. Precipitable water values will increase to around
1.00" across much of Utah on Friday, with an increase in
thunderstorm coverage and potential for wetting rainfall. Isolated
dry thunderstorm chances continue across portions of the Great Basin
into Idaho/southern Montana.

...Synopsis...
An upper-level ridge will continue to slowly expand west and north
over the western CONUS Friday. Hot and mostly dry conditions will
persist under the influence of this feature, where only very
localized wetting rains have occurred through the past week or so.
Shallow mid to upper-level monsoonal moisture is still expected over
the Great Basin atop a well-mixed boundary layer, where PWAT values
will be even lower than the previous day's. Isolated dry
thunderstorms are expected to develop above increasingly receptive
fuels Friday afternoon, via orographic ascent, and continue into the
early evening. Very little wetting rainfall is expected to acco*pany
this elevated convection.
