SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0247 PM CDT Sun Aug 04 2024

Valid 051200Z - 061200Z

...Update...
A few minor changes were made to the Isolated Dry Thunderstorm area
to include portions of the central Rockies within western CO, and to
remove most of the ID panhandle where recent wetting rains occurred.
Relative to today PWATs will decrease slightly Monday afternoon
across portions of the northern Great Basin and Upper CO River Basin
ahead of a shortwave trough. Most fuels within these regions, void
of any recent precipitation, remain receptive to lightning
ignitions. For additional details, please see the previous
discussion.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0203 AM CDT Sun Aug 04 2024/

...Synopsis...
Several shortwave disturbances moving across the northern periphery
of the western US ridge will provide additional chances for
thunderstorms across northern Nevada, Utah, Iowa, far western
Wyoming, and Montana where a plume of mid-level moisture resides.
dry fuels within these regions will support potential for new
ignitions. Gusty and erratic outflow will also be possible. Portions
of western Montana/Idaho Panhandle may receive wetting rainfall on
D1 Sunday. This area may need to be adjusted in coming outlooks
based on status of fuels.
