Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0121 AM CDT Thu Jul 18 2024

Valid 191200Z - 201200Z

...Synopsis...
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.
