665 FNUS28 KWNS 302155 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0453 PM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025 Valid 021200Z - 081200Z ...Day 3/Wednesday... An incoming mid-level trough into the Pacific Northwest and subsequent lee trough deepening across eastern Washington State will promote stronger onshore flow into the region for Day 3/Wednesday. Enhanced gap winds into the Columbia Basin and dry, downslope flow east of the Cascades should support a fire weather threat where dry fuels exist. A mix of wet/dry thunderstorms are expected across the higher terrain of eastern Nevada, southwestern/central Utah and southwestern Wyoming. This fire weather threat is primarily along the western periphery of deeper monsoon moisture moving into the greater Four Corners region. ...Days 4-5/Thursday-Friday... Fire weather concerns will continue to be concentrated across the portions of the Great Basin and Southwest for the latter part of the week as another mid-level short wave trough moves into the region. The thunderstorm threat is also present as the trough interacts with residual monsoon moisture although considerable timing and amplitude uncertainty precludes introduction of dry thunderstorm probabilities for Day 4-5/Thursday-Friday. ...Days 6-8/Saturday-Monday... An upper-level ridge shifts eastward into the eastern U.S. by the weekend while a broad, dry southwest flow pattern infiltrates into western U.S. Monsoon moisture, and general diurnal thunderstorm development is expected to shift eastward along and east of the Continental Divide, limiting the dry thunderstorm threat. Timing and magnitude of mid-level short waves within the overall southwest flow pattern precludes introduction of critical fire weather probabilities at this time. ..Williams.. 06/30/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
