VALID 161200Z - 171200Z
..SYNOPSIS
UPPER TROUGHING WILL TRANSITION INTO A CLOSED LOW OVER NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHERN OREGON ON DAY 2/WEDNESDAY, MAINTAINING
STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN. HOT AND DRY
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA AS HIGH PRESSURE
EXPANDS INTO THE CENTRAL U.S., THOUGH MUCH LIGHTER WINDS WILL LIMIT
BROADER FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.
..CENTRAL-EASTERN NEVADA
DEEP-LAYER SOUTHWEST FLOW COUPLED WITH A DRY AIRMASS AND EFFICIENT
DAYTIME MIXING WILL PROMOTE AN ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER THREAT FOR
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL-EASTERN NEVADA ON DAY 2/WEDNESDAY. AT PEAK
HEATING, SUSTAINED SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS OF 15-20 MPH AND RH VALUES OF
15% OR LESS WILL OVERLAP DRYING FUELS. RH MAY DECLINE TO LESS THAN
10% IN SOME VALLEYS, BUT MARGINAL FUEL RECEPTIVENESS WILL MUTE A
MORE SIGNIFICANT FIRE WEATHER CONCERN ACROSS THE AREA.
