Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0158 AM CDT Tue Aug 09 2022

Valid 101200Z - 111200Z

...Synopsis...
An upper ridge will remain in place across the Inter-mountain West
as a 500 mb closed low rides up the Pacific Northwest coastline
tomorrow/Wednesday. Strong mid-level winds overspreading and mixing
down the lee of the Cascades will promote Elevated conditions across
eastern Oregon and surrounding areas during the afternoon hours. It
is possible these highlights may need to be removed in later
outlooks if Day 1 storms produce widespread wetting rains over this
region. Modest mid-level flow pivoting around the upper ridge will
overspread a deep, relatively dry boundary layer across the northern
Rockies, with Elevated conditions expected tomorrow afternoon across
northern Montana. At least locally elevated conditions are expected
farther south to the Wyoming/Nebraska border, with an overall weaker
surface wind field precluding Elevated highlights this outlook.

As the axis of deeper monsoonal moisture shifts eastward tomorrow,
away from the Cascades, scattered to potentially numerous
thunderstorms are possible across parts of the northern Rockies.
Isolated dry thunderstorm highlights were added to portions of
northern Idaho and surrounding areas, where observations suggest
fuels are highly receptive to wildfire spread. As on Day 1, the dry
thunderstorm highlights were added because of the potential for
peripheral dry strikes (away from cores) and gusty erratic winds to
occur in these highly receptive fuel beds.
