Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1112 AM CDT Sat Jul 27 2024

Valid 271700Z - 281200Z

The previous forecast (see below) remains on track.

..Squitieri.. 07/27/2024

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0143 AM CDT Sat Jul 27 2024/

...Synopsis...
A shortwave impulse embedded in a broader West Coast trough will
progress eastward from California into Nevada today, bringing dry
and windy conditions to much of the southern Great Basin, and
isolated dry thunderstorms to portions of the Northwest.

...Dry Thunder...
A mix of dry and wet thunderstorms will be possible across portions
of the Northwest, into western Wyoming and northern Utah. Any dry
thunderstorms will be capable of gusty outflow capable of
contributing to wildfire spread with any new lightning ignitions.
While dry thunderstorm coverage appears possible across a larger
area than highlighted, modest wetting rainfall over the last 48
hours and current fuel guidance suggests that portions of northern
Utah, northeastern Nevada, and southern Idaho will be less
vulnerable to lightning-based ignitions and have been excluded from
highlights.

...Dry and Windy...
Southern Nevada into southwestern Utah will experience widespread
critical meteorological conditions. However, current fuel guidance
and previous wetting rainfall suggest fuels may not be receptive to
wildfire spread. With the rate of fuel recovery also being
uncertain, Critical highlights have been withheld.
