...Synopsis...
A midlevel trough will move eastward across the northern Rockies and
adjacent Plains during the day. Along/south of the trough, moderate
west-southwesterly midlevel flow will overspread the Great Basin
into the northern/central Rockies.
...Dry Thunderstorms - Northern Rockies/Intermountain West...
Large-scale ascent acco*panying the midlevel trough will promote
widely scattered thunderstorms across portions of ID and western MT
during the afternoon and evening. While 0.6-0.9 inch PW will favor a
mix of wet/dry thunderstorms, 25-35 mph storm motions may tend to
limit overall rainfall in any given area. Nevertheless,
lightning-induced ignitions will be possible on the peripheries of
rain cores, given dry fuels across the area.
...Dry/Windy - Great Basin into the Central Rockies...
Deep boundary-layer mixing into the enhanced flow aloft will yield
5-10 percent RH and 15-20 mph sustained west-southwesterly surface
winds from southern UT into WY -- with the strongest winds expected
over WY. These dry/breezy conditions atop modestly receptive fuels
will favor elevated fire-weather conditions during the afternoon.
