VALID 291200Z - 301200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
..NEW MEXICO
LIMITED MID-LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE UPPER RIO GRANDE VALLEY IN NEW
MEXICO WILL KEEP A RATHER LOW DRY THUNDERSTORM THREAT ACROSS
SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO WHERE FUELS REMAIN QUITE DRY. LESS
RECEPTIVE FUELS IN ADDITION TO SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON THE
WETTER SIDE SHOULD LIMIT FIRE SPREAD POTENTIAL ALONG AND EAST OF THE
NEW MEXICO CENTRAL MOUNTAIN RANGE.
..NORTHWEST
AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH ENTERING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL BRING A
COLD FRONT INTO THE REGION THURSDAY. DRY, POST-FRONTAL FLOW WITH
SOME DOWNSLOPE ENHANCEMENT LEE OF THE CASCADES IS EXPECTED IN THE
COLUMBIA BASIN. ALTHOUGH POCKETS OF DRY GRASSES EXIST ACROSS THE
REGION, ONGOING GREEN UP AND ERCS IN THE 60-70TH PERCENTILE RANGE
WILL LIMIT SIGNIFICANT FIRE SPREAD WITHIN OVERALL FUELSCAPE.

..SYNOPSIS
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL REMAIN LIMITED ON THURSDAY. AS A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH CLIPS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, WESTERLY FLOW WILL
INCREASE ACROSS THE CASCADES INTO THE COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN AND THE
BLUE MOUNTAINS INTO THE SNAKE RIVER PLAIN IN IDAHO. FUELS IN THESE
REGIONS ARE NOT QUITE READY TO SUPPORT FIRE SPREAD, BUT THIS WILL
LIKELY LEAD TO A PERIOD OF DRYING.
MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE INTO NEW MEXICO, WITH BETTER
CHANCES FOR WETTING RAINFALL ON THURSDAY. IN ADDITION, HUMIDITY WILL
INCREASE WITH BETTER RECOVERY IN THE OVERNIGHT PERIODS. AS SUCH, NO
ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE NEEDED ON THURSDAY.
