MOST VALLEY AREAS THROUGH FRIDAY WITH POOR OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES.
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN TODAY, LEADING

COMBINED WITH THE LOW HUMIDITIES, WILL BRING CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS TO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS AND
EASTERN VALLEYS TODAY. THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT OVERHEAD
TOMORROW, RESULTING IN A DECREASE IN WINDS. HOWEVER,
ISOLATED/MARGINAL CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY REMAIN
POSSIBLE.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT EAST FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND AS A WEATHER
DISTURBANCE APPROACHES UTAH. WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS INCREASING AND
HUMIDITIES REMAINING LOW AHEAD OF A FRIDAY NIGHT COLD FRONT,
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL SHIFT TO WESTERN AND
SOUTHERN UTAH FOR FRIDAY. ADDITIONALLY, ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE AS EARLY AS THURSDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS, AND FRIDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS NORTHWESTERN UTAH.
THIS TREND MAY EXPAND WITH TIME OVER THE WEEKEND.
