Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0135 AM CDT Fri Oct 04 2024

Valid 041200Z - 051200Z

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE HARNEY BASIN INTO
THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN...
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL WYOMING...

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will rapidly traverse the northwestern CONUS
while supporting the development of a pronounced surface cyclone
across southern Saskatchewan today. As the surface cyclone quickly
translates eastward through the period, a wide corridor of strong
surface gradient winds will overlap with a dry boundary layer and
overspread very dry fuels across portions of the northwestern to
north-central U.S. Elevated highlights are in place across the Great
Basin toward the Northern Plains. Widespread 15 mph sustained
westerly surface winds are expected from eastern Oregon to central
Wyoming, with the wind direction shifting to more southerly across
the Plains states (given surface lee troughing). RH will drop to 15
percent over portions of the Intermountain West, with RH dipping to
20-25 percent in the Northern Plains. Sustained surface wind speeds
are expected to reach 20-25 mph over portions of the Harney Basin
into the northern Great Basin, as well as central Wyoming by
afternoon peak heating, where Critical highlights have been
introduced.
