DAY 1 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0215 AM CDT MON JUN 30 2025
VALID 301200Z - 011200Z
..SYNOPSIS
ACROSS THE US, SUB-TROPICAL RIDGING WILL BUILD OVER THE PLAINS,
KEEPING STRONGER FLOW ALOFT DISPLACED TO THE NORTH WHILE AN UPPER
LOW WILL OVERSPREAD PORTIONS OF THE WEST COAST. AHEAD OF THE LOW,
BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL ADVECT MONSOON MOISTURE NORTHWARD INTO
PARTS OF CA AND OR. DRY THUNDERSTORMS AND DRY/BREEZY CONDITIONS
APPEAR LIKELY TO SUPPORT ELEVATED FIRE-WEATHER POTENTIAL ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST AND GREAT BASIN TODAY.
..NORTHWEST
WEAK ASCENT FROM AN APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH WILL ALLOW FOR ISOLATED
TO WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN CA AND SOUTHERN OR
THROUGH TONIGHT. STRONG HEATING AND DRY SUB-CLOUD LAYERS WITH STEEP
LAPSE RATES BELOW 500MB WILL SUPPORT A MIXED WET/DRY THUNDERSTORM
ENVIRONMENT CAPABLE OF OCCASIONAL DRY LIGHTNING STRIKES.
ADDITIONALLY, ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS ARE LIKELY NEAR STORMS. THE
INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR DRY LIGHTNING ATOP RECEPTIVE FUELS, WARRANTS
CONTINUATION OF ISODRYT PROBABILITIES WHERE FIRE STARTS ARE
POSSIBLE.
..GREAT BASIN
BENEATH THE UPPER RIDGE, VERY HOT SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
OVER PARTS OF NV AND WESTERN UT. SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS MAY GUST TO
15-20 MPH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, CONCURRENT WITH WIDESPREAD RH
VALUES BELOW 15%. THE PRESENCE OF BREEZY LOW-LEVEL WINDS AND THE
HOT/DRY CONDITIONS WILL OVERLAP WITH A PROGRESSIVELY DRIER AND
RECEPTIVE FUELS ACROSS NV. THIS COULD SUPPORT A FEW HOURS OF
ELEVATED FIRE-WEATHER POTENTIAL THROUGH THIS EVENING.
