776 FNUS22 KWNS 060700 FWDDY2 Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0159 AM CDT Sat Jul 06 2024 Valid 071200Z - 081200Z ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN UTAH... ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough is expected to remain over the central CONUS with a shortwave trough and associated mid-level speed max traversing the Great Basin and southwestern CONUS through the day on Sunday. This will promote gusty winds and strong mixing with low RH on Sunday afternoon across parts of the Great Basin, with gusts to 30-40 mph and RH in the 5-10% range. Fuels in this region are at least modestly receptive, and therefore an Elevated area has been introduced. Inside this area, some pockets of more receptive fuels across southern Utah are apparent, and therefore a Critical area has also been added. Elsewhere, localized, transient Elevated conditions may occur in gaps in both the coastal range of southern California and the Cascades in Oregon. However, confidence in sustained breezy conditions is not high enough to introduce highlights at this time. ..Supinie.. 07/06/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
