DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0201 AM CDT MON AUG 18 2025
VALID 191200Z - 201200Z
..SYNOPSIS
A AMPLIFYING MID-LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION AND
NORTH-CENTRAL U.S. WILL SUPPORT A LARGE AREA OF HOT AND DRY
CONDITIONS TO MUCH OF THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST TUESDAY. WHILE FLOW
ALOFT WILL NOT BE OVERLY STRONG AS THE RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD,
OCCASIONAL 15 MPH SURFACE GUSTS AND TERRAIN-AUGMENTED WINDS ARE
POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON OVER PARTS OF THE EASTERN GREAT BASIN.
IN COMBINATION WITH THE VERY HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS, ELEVATED
FIRE-WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR A FEW HOURS TUESDAY
AFTERNOON WITHIN EXCEPTIONALLY DRY FUELS.
..NORTHERN ROCKIES
TO THE NORTHWEST, A MID-LEVEL TROUGH AND REMNANT MONSOON MOISTURE
SHOULD CONTINUE TO PROMOTE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL ACROSS
THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. WHILE LIGHTNING IS
POSSIBLE, THE VERY ISOLATED STORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER AREAS WITH LESS
RECEPTIVE FUELS. THIS SHOULD LARGELY LIMIT, BUT NOT ENTIRELY NEGATE
IGNITION POTENTIAL TUESDAY.
