Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0208 PM CDT Mon Aug 19 2024
Valid 201200Z - 211200Z
...20z Update...
Confidence has increased that a corridor of elevated to locally
critical fire-weather conditions are possible over parts of eastern
ID into southwestern MT D2/Tuesday. Stronger flow aloft ahead of a
weak upper trough embedded within southwesterly flow will support
deeper mixing and wind gusts to 15-20 mph as it passes overhead
through the afternoon. With RH below 20% and dry area fuels,
fire-weather concerns are expected to be elevated. Otherwise, the
previous forecast remains valid with minimal changes.

...Synopsis...
The West Coast mid-level trough will slowly progress eastward
tomorrow (Tuesday), with strong southwesterly 500 mb flow expected
to overspread the Great Basin. Similar to Day 1 (today), afternoon
boundary-layer mixing will promote dry and windy conditions along
the Oregon/California/Nevada border, as well as southwestern into
central Nevada, where Elevated highlights have been added.
