DAY 2 FIRE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0149 AM CDT MON JUL 20 2026
VALID 211200Z - 221200Z
..SYNOPSIS
ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A LARGE-SCALE RIDGE ENCOMPASSING
MUCH OF THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN CONUS, AMPLE MIDLEVEL MOISTURE WILL
BE IN PLACE ATOP A WARM AND DRY AIR MASS ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHERN CA
INTO OR. THIS WILL YIELD INVERTED-V PROFILES WITH WEAK (ALBEIT
SUFFICIENT) BUOYANCY FOR ISOLATED HIGH-BASED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. GIVEN RELATIVELY
WEAK LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT, THE GREATEST CONFIDENCE IN
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS OVER THE CASCADES IN SOUTHERN/CENTRAL
OR. WHILE 0.8 TO 1.2 INCH PW MAY PROMOTE A MIX OF WET/DRY STORMS,
RELATIVELY FAST STORM MOTIONS AND THE DRY BOUNDARY LAYER SHOULD
LIMIT RAINFALL. AS A RESULT, ISOLATED LIGHTNING-INDUCED IGNITIONS
WILL BE POSSIBLE. ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE CONUS, MINIMAL FIRE-WEATHER
CONCERNS ARE EXPECTED.
