Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1148 PM CDT Wed Aug 21 2024

Valid 221200Z - 231200Z

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL INTO EASTERN
NEVADA...

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will amplify across the Interior West as an upper
ridge persists across the central U.S. today. Strong mid-level flow
from the upper trough, overspreading a deepening boundary layer over
the Great Basin, will support dry and windy conditions through the
afternoon. 15-20 mph sustained southwesterly surface winds,
overlapping with 15-20 percent RH and fuels receptive to fire
spread, will result in widespread Elevated conditions for several
hours. However, portions of central Nevada may also experience
higher sustained southerly surface winds (i.e. over 25 mph),
warranting Critical highlights.
