Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0458 PM CDT Wed Aug 07 2024

Valid 091200Z - 151200Z

In the mid-levels, a belt of modest mid-level flow will remain over
the northern half of CONUS through the weekend into early next week.
Several shortwave troughs embedded in the flow are expected to
provide lift for thunderstorm activity as well as stronger surface
winds. One such shortwave trough is expected to traverse the
northwestern CONUS with attendant thunderstorm activity. Low
precipitable water values may result in a dry lightning risk
overlapping with receptive fuels across portions of the northwest
and northern Rockies.

By early next week, a longwave trough is expected to develop over
the northwestern CONUS, with the stronger mid-level flow pushing
southward around the periphery of the trough. This may result in
some Elevated or Critical fire risk across portions of the Great
Basin. At the moment, the highest confidence for overlap of strong
winds with low RH and receptive fuels in the region is on
D4/Saturday and D6/Monday. Therefore, a 40% highlight has been
maintained on D4, and one been introduced on D6 for this area.
