DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1253 AM CDT SAT SEP 05 2026
VALID 061200Z - 071200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
..SYNOPSIS
PERSISTENT UPPER-LEVEL TROUGHING OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND
NORTHEAST WILL CONTINUE ON DAY 2/SUNDAY, WITH UPPER RIDGING
REMAINING IN PLACE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS EMBEDDED WITHIN STRENGTHENING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL
TRANSITION NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE GREAT BASIN/NORTHERN
ROCKIES, WHICH WILL BEGIN TO ADVECT SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE INTO THE
DESERT SOUTHWEST/GREAT BASIN, LIKELY BRINGING ADDITIONAL CLOUD COVER
AND SOME CHANCES FOR RAIN TO THE REGION. THESE FACTORS WILL LARGELY
MITIGATE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS IN THE WESTERN U.S.
..EASTERN IDAHO INTO CENTRAL/NORTHERN WYOMING
DRY AND BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN
IDAHO AND CENTRAL/NORTHERN WYOMING SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THESE
CONDITIONS MAY SUPPORT LOCALLY ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ACROSS
THIS REGION, ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL/NORTHERN WYOMING WHERE DRIER
FUELS EXIST. THE EXPECTED LIMITED DURATION AND SPATIAL EXTENT OF
METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS COMBINED WITH UNCERTAINTY REGARDING CLOUD
COVER AND ITS IMPACT ON RH REDUCTIONS PRECLUDES THE ADDITION OF
ELEVATED HIGHLIGHTS AT THIS TIME, HOWEVER.
..CENTRAL GREAT BASIN
ANOTHER DAY OF DRY, SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IS FORECAST ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE CENTRAL GREAT BASIN. LOCALLY ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
MAY DEVELOP WHERE POCKETS OF DRIER FINE FUELS EXIST; HOWEVER, A
BROADER FIRE WEATHER RISK IS NOT ANTICIPATED OWING TO GENERALLY
MARGINAL FUELS.
