Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0158 AM CDT Fri Jul 26 2024

Valid 271200Z - 281200Z

...Synopsis...
As a mid-level trough progresses eastward from California into the
northern Great Basin on Saturday, isolated dry thunderstorms are
expected across portions of eastern Idaho, southwestern Montana,
western Wyoming, and portions of far northern Utah. This trough is
also expected to bring dry and windy conditions to much of southern
Nevada into southwestern Utah. 

...Dry Thunder...
An approaching trough from California is expected to bring chances
for isolated dry thunderstorms to portions of Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming, and Utah. Recent wetting rainfall could potentially limit
some lightning ignitions, but pockets of receptive fuels still
remain across much of the highlight area. Dry boundary-layer
profiles will support gusty thunderstorm outflow that could
contribute to wildfire spread with any lightning based ignitions. 

...Southern Great Basin...
Relative humidity of 5-10% and wind speeds of 25-30 MPH are expected
across southern Nevada into southwestern Utah, exceeding the
meteorological criteria for critical conditions. However, there is
uncertainty in the receptiveness of fuels to wildfire spread due to
recent significant wetting rainfall, precluding the inclusion of
critical highlights at this time.
