...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN AND
CENTRAL ROCKIES...
..CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR SNAKE RIVER PLAIN
..SYNOPSIS
THE UPPER-LEVEL LOW OVER THE NORTHWEST WILL ADVANCE TOWARDS THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES, AS A SURFACE LOW INTENSIFIES OVER THE NORTHERN
PLAINS WITH THE TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN
GREAT BASIN. THIS WILL BOLSTER SURFACE WINDS ACROSS PARTS OF THE
SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL ROCKIES MID A VERY DRY AIR MASS. ELEVATED TO
CRITICAL FIRE-WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY.
..SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN AND CENTRAL ROCKIES
BENEATH THE STRONGER FLOW LOFT, GUSTY SURFACE WINDS ARE AGAIN LIKELY
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT FROM SOUTHERN NV, INTO UT, PARTS OF WESTERN
CO AND SOUTHWESTERN WY. AIDED BY DEEP MIXING AND 30-40 KT OF
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT, AFTERNOON SURFACE WINDS OF 20-30 MPH ARE
EXPECTED. POOR TO NONEXISTENT OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES AND
AFTERNOON MINIMUMS OF 5 TO 15 PERCENT WILL EXACERBATE CRITICAL FUELS
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES AND SOUTHWEST. THE COMBINATION OF VERY
DRY AIR, STRONG WINDS AND RECEPTIVE FUELS WILL FAVOR SEVERAL HOURS
OF WIDESPREAD CRITICAL CONDITIONS SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
..ID
BENEATH THE UPPER TROUGH, CONTINUED STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
WILL BOLSTER SURFACE WINDS THROUGH THE SNAKE RIVER PLAINS AND
SOUTHERN ID. GUSTY SURFACE WINDS OF 20-35 MPH AND RH OF 10-20% WILL
SUPPORT SEVERAL HOURS OF ELEVATED TO CRITICAL FIRE-WEATHER
CONDITIONS SUNDAY. GUSTY WIND AND LOW HUMIDITY MAY EXTEND FARTHER
EASTWARD INTO ID AND FAR WESTERN WY, BUT HERE FUELS HERE HAVE
RECEIVED RECENT RAINFALL AND ARE LESS RECEPTIVE.
