An upper-level ridge will continue to slowly expand west and north over the western CONUS Friday. Hot and mostly dry conditions will persist under the influence of this feature, where only very localized wetting rains have occurred through the past week or so. Shallow mid to upper-level monsoonal moisture is still expected over the Great Basin atop a well-mixed boundary layer, where PWAT values will be even lower than the previous day`s. Isolated dry thunderstorms are expected to develop above increasingly receptive fuels Friday afternoon, via orographic ascent, and continue into the early evening. Very little wetting rainfall is expected to accompany this elevated convection. ..Barnes.. 07/18/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
