...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE GREAT BASIN...
...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will enter portions of the Pacific Northwest,
with enhanced mid-level flow overspreading portions of the Great
Basin and vicinity. Afternoon heating/mixing will result in
sustained surface winds of 20-25 mph while RH values drop into the
teens, resulting in Elevated to Critical fire-weather conditions for
this region. In addition, forcing for ascent associated with the
aforementioned trough will allow for thunderstorms to develop across
the Pacific Northwest, with a mix of wet and dry storms expected.
Given dry/receptive fuels across the region, the area delineating
isolated dry thunderstorm potential has been maintained.
