MIDLEVEL MOISTURE WILL SUPPORT ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST DURING THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING. INVERTED-V SOUNDINGS (CHARACTERIZED BY 0.5-0.7
INCH PW) AND MODEST STORM MOTIONS WILL FAVOR MOSTLY DRY
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN CA, SOUTHEASTERN OR, FAR NORTHWESTERN
NV, AND SOUTHWESTERN ID -- WITH A MIX OF WET/DRY STORMS FARTHER
NORTH IN EAST-CENTRAL OR. THESE STORMS WILL POSE A RISK OF ISOLATED
IGNITIONS OVER ANY RECEPTIVE FUELS AND STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS.
WITHIN THE BASE OF THE TROUGH, A BELT OF MODERATE (30-40 KT)
MIDLEVEL WESTERLY FLOW WILL OVERSPREAD A DEEP/WELL-MIXED BOUNDARY
LAYER ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN DURING THE AFTERNOON. AS A RESULT,
BREEZY/GUSTY WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE WINDS AND SINGLE-DIGIT RH
WILL YIELD ELEVATED FIRE-WEATHER CONDITIONS.
