...Synopsis...
Increasing mid-level flow is expected over the Great Basin Saturday
between a shortwave trough approaching the CA coast and a ridge
centered over the Rockies. Cloud-free skies and heating throughout
the day will result in a deeply mixed boundary layer and momentum
transfer of this stronger flow to the surface. A few hours of
sustained winds reaching 15-20 mph within the Elevated area, along
with RH dropping as low as the upper single digits, are expected. In
addition, an hour or two of critically sustained winds exceeding 20
mph will be possible within the southern half of the Elevated area,
where seasonal ERC values are near the 90th percentile.
