Valid 041200Z - 051200Z

...Synopsis...
Northwesterly mid-level flow will overspread the Pacific Northwest
into the central and northern Rockies as a 40-50 kt mid-level jet
maximum pivots around an anticyclone, centered just off of the
California coastline tomorrow (Thursday). Deep-layer
north-northwesterly flow will overspread the central California
Valley region through the day, promoting Elevated conditions for
wildfire spread, particularly in the San Joaquin Valley. By
afternoon, at least a few hours will exist where 15 mph sustained
northerly surface winds will coincide with 15 percent RH and fuels
receptive to wildfire spread. Portions of the Great Basin into the
central Rockies will also see widespread dry conditions (i.e. 10-15
percent RH) amid negligible rainfall, so fuels should continue to
cure. Latest guidance consensus suggests that large-scale surface
wind fields are too weak to support Elevated highlights this
outlook. However, at least localized wildfire-spread conditions will
exist.
