Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1123 AM CDT Sat Aug 03 2024

Valid 031700Z - 041200Z

...Update...
Only minor changes were made to the Isolated Dry Thunderstorm area
for today. The area was extended across more of central MT, and to
just north of the Four Corners over southwestern CO where PWAT
values should remain below 1". Other regions like northern AZ were
considered, but deeper moisture through the lower levels should
promote wetting rainfall. Please see the previous discussion below
for additional details.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0156 AM CDT Sat Aug 03 2024/

...Synopsis...
A midlevel disturbance will move northward along the western
periphery of the anticyclone across the western US, bring showers
and thunderstorms across the Sierra Nevada range and into the
Northwest late afternoon into the evening. Further east and north,
dry thunderstorms will also be possible across portions of the Great
Basin and far western Montana this afternoon. These storms will have
potential to produce gusty and erratic outflow winds. Dry fuels
within these regions will support potential for new ignitions.

Portions of the previous isolated dry thunderstorm risk were removed
across central/northern California and central Oregon, where
precipitable water values 1.00"+ will likely permit wetting
rainfall.
