..SYNOPSIS
A MID-LEVEL LOW SLIDING SOUTHWARD FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL
STALL OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS AFTERNOON, INCREASING DEEP-LAYER
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 NEVADA
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON WHERE
DRY AND BREEZY SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS OF 15-20 MPH AMID MINIMUM
RH VALUES OF 10-15% OVERLAP DRYING FUELS. RH MAY DECLINE TO LESS

A MORE SIGNIFICANT FIRE WEATHER CONCERN ACROSS THE AREA.
