..CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR NORTHWESTERN NEVADA
..CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF EASTERN NEVADA
WESTERN
UTAH...AND FAR NORTHWESTERN ARIZONA...
..SYNOPSIS
WITHIN THE BASE OF A LARGE-SCALE TROUGH MOVING INTO THE WESTERN
CONUS, A SWATH OF MODERATE-STRONG DEEP-LAYER SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL
OVERSPREAD CENTRAL CA INTO THE GREAT BASIN TODAY. IN RESPONSE,
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL DEEPEN OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN AND
SEPARATELY OVER THE LOWER CO RIVER VALLEY.
..GREAT BASIN
DEEP BOUNDARY-LAYER MIXING IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN DURING
THE AFTERNOON, WITH SURFACE TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE 90S TO
100 F AND RH FALLING INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS. THE DEEP BOUNDARY-LAYER
MIXING INTO THE STRONG FLOW ALOFT, COUPLED WITH A TIGHTENING
REGIONAL PRESSURE GRADIENT, WILL CONTRIBUTE TO AN EXPANSIVE AREA OF
20-25 MPH SUSTAINED SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE WINDS (WITH HIGHER GUSTS).
THE GREATEST OVERLAP OF THESE STRONG SURFACE WINDS AND LOW RH IS
EXPECTED OVER NORTHWESTERN NV AND WESTERN UT INTO EASTERN NV AND FAR
NORTHWESTERN AZ. GIVEN DRY/RECEPTIVE FUELS OVER THESE AREAS,
CRITICAL FIRE-WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED.
..SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AND VICINITY
HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL COMBINE WITH 15-20 MPH SUSTAINED
NORTHWESTERLY SURFACE WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.
THIS WILL PROMOTE ELEVATED FIRE-WEATHER CONDITIONS WHERE FUELS ARE
RECEPTIVE TO FIRE SPREAD.
..DRY THUNDERSTORMS
LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT PRECEDING THE MIDLEVEL TROUGH WILL
FAVOR ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN OR
INTO CENTRAL ID DURING THE EVENING HOURS. HOWEVER, CURRENT
INDICATIONS ARE THAT FUELS ARE ONLY MODESTLY RECEPTIVE TO
LIGHTNING-INDUCED IGNITIONS -- PRECLUDING DRY THUNDERSTORM
HIGHLIGHTS AT THIS TIME.
