...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR SOUTHWEST IDAHO...

...Southwest Idaho...
Introduced a Critical area into the Snake River Valley due to better
overlap of dry, windy conditions with 90th percentile fuels. Model
guidance has increased confidence in 20+ MPH winds over portions of
the valley. Fuels further east into south-central and southeastern
Idaho are not quite as dry, though locally critical conditions could
occur with eastward extent.

See previous discussion for additional details.

...Synopsis...
Mid-level ridging will prevail over much of the CONUS as a mid-level
trough overspreads the northern Rockies tomorrow (Wednesday). During
the afternoon, dry downslope flow will encourage dry and breezy
conditions across much of the Great Basin into the central Rockies.
Latest guidance consensus suggests that 15+ mph sustained westerly
winds (locally higher in terrain-favoring areas) will coincide with
10-15 percent RH for several hours. With fuels beginning to become
at least modestly receptive to wildfire spread on a widespread
basis, Elevated highlights have been introduced.
