   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1251 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   Elevated fire weather conditions are expected again today across
   parts of the Four Corners and Intermountain West. Early-morning
   water-vapor imagery reveals an upper low migrating into the lower
   Colorado River Valley. This feature is expected to meander across
   the southern Great Basin through the day with a belt of modest
   (20-40 knot) southwesterly mid-level flow extending from northern AZ
   into southern WY. Under this speed max, dry conditions persist
   across the region with afternoon RH minimums in the teens expected.
   Although surface pressure gradient winds will likely only remain in
   the mid teens, frequent gusts between 20-35 mph are expected as
   ample diurnal heating drives deep boundary-layer mixing. Fuels
   across the region remain supportive of fire spread given recent fire
   activity and no appreciable rainfall over the past 1-2 weeks. 

   ...Dry Thunderstorms - Northeast Nevada...
   Cold temperatures aloft associated with the southern Great Basin
   upper low, coupled with a modest influx of mid-level moisture and
   deep boundary-layer mixing, will promote isolated weak thunderstorms
   across portions of northeast NV. Thermodynamic profiles are typical
   of dry thunderstorm environments; however, slow storm motions (less
   than 10 knots) will promote wetting rainfall under the convective
   cores. Isolated dry lightning strikes on the periphery of heavier
   precipitation is possible, but confidence in a robust dry
   thunderstorm threat remains limited.

   No changes are needed to the D2 Fire Weather Outlook. See previous

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0100 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   Fire weather concerns are expected to remain fairly localized on
   Wednesday across the country. The upper trough currently migrating
   into the lower Colorado River Valley is expected to begin
   de-amplifying and drifting into the northern Rockies through the day
   Wednesday. This will weaken winds across much of the Four
   Corners/central Rockies where dry/breezy conditions have been
   prevalent for the past several days. Little moisture recovery is
   anticipated, so areas that typically see terrain-enhanced winds may
   experience periods of elevated fire weather conditions Wednesday
   afternoon. Currently, this appears most probable from northeast AZ
   into eastern UT, but confidence in the coverage/duration of elevated
   conditions is too limited for highlights. 

   Further to the west, zonal flow over the northern Sierra Nevada is
   expected to increase as the weakening upper trough departs the Great
   Basin. This will promote a downslope flow regime across northeast NV
   and adjacent portions of CA and OR. Model guidance continues to show
   uncertainty regarding the strength of the downslope winds and
   potential for fire weather concerns. More aggressive solutions hint
   that areas of elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions
   are possible. Regardless, ERCs near or below the 80th percentile
   should help modulate a more robust fire weather


U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook


   ZCZC SPCFWDD38 ALL
   FNUS28 KWNS 241947

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0247 PM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025

   Valid 261200Z - 021200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   An weak upper-level trough will move across the Pacific Northwest 
   Day 3/Thursday into the Great Lakes by Day 7/Monday. An amplifying
   ridge across the Intermountain West early next week will promote
   lighter surface winds but well above normal temperatures for much of
   the Western U.S. Weak troughing will remain off the West Coast, with
   potential for locally breezy conditions and mix of wet/dry
   thunderstorms.

   ...Day 3-6/Thursday-Sunday...
   Generally weak upper flow with the western trough will promote
   lighter, mainly terrain driven winds across much of the
   Intermountain West and Southwest late this week, into early next
   week. A few hours of Elevated to locally Critical conditions will be
   possible across portions of the Columbia Basin into the Snake River
   Plain in Idaho on D3/Thursday and D4/Friday.

   ...Day 7/Monday - Day 8/Tuesday...
   A weak trough will push the western ridge eastward across the Divide
   and Rockies early next week. There is some potential for increasing 
   winds but also moisture for thunderstorms across the Pacific
   Northwest. For now, confidence in moisture and position of the
   trough remains too low to include probabilities.
