Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0201 PM CDT Thu Aug 15 2024

Valid 161200Z - 171200Z

An Elevated risk area has been introduced to portions of southeast
CA into southern/eastern NV. Latest guidance continues to show high
confidence in a corridor of 20-25 mph winds emanating out of the
southern Sierra Nevada with RH values in the single digits. Fuel
conditions continue to be somewhat marginal across eastern NV, but
become increasingly dry with westward extent. Given the high
confidence in reaching critical fire weather thresholds, an Elevated
risk area has been introduced where the overlap of 20+ mph winds
with sub-10% RH and ERCs at/above the 80th percentile is greatest.

...Synopsis...
Friday will be characterized by west-southwesterly mid-level flow
across the Western U.S., with a shortwave trough approaching the
Oregon/Washington coasts late in the period. This will support some
dry/windy conditions across portions of southern Nevada and western
Utah, with relative humidity dropping to 10-15% with winds reaching
20-25 MPH. However, these conditions will largely occur over fuels
that have received recent wetting rainfall or are only modestly dry,
precluding highlights at this time.
