Along the western periphery of an amplified large-scale ridge extending from the Southwest/southern Rockies to the Northwest, several midlevel disturbances will advance northward across parts of the Great Basin/Sierra into the Northwest. Given well-established monsoonal moisture across the region, scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected. While a mix of wet/dry thunderstorms are possible (especially over parts of the Sierra into the Northwest), generally 1.0+ inch PW and slow storm motions should favor mostly wet storms capable of producing measurable rainfall. Nevertheless, isolated lightning-induced ignitions will still be possible on the peripheries of rain cores where fuels are receptive. ..Weinman.. 08/24/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
