SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0502 PM CDT Fri Jun 07 2024
Valid 091200Z - 151200Z
A mid to upper-level ridge and zonal flow over the higher latitudes
will persist through most of the extended period across the western
and central CONUS respectively, with broad, cyclonic flow in place
to the east and northeast. This pattern will maintain localized
instances of elevated fire spread conditions across the increasingly
receptive fuels found within the Southwest. Through the end of this
weekend, a southern stream mid-level shortwave trough will move
northeastward out of the Baja Peninsula region under the upper
ridge, traversing far southern AZ and NM. The accompanying surface
pressure gradient across this region may yield at least a short
period of sustained westerly winds greater than 15-20 mph, where
minimum RH will remain in the single digits. Low probabilities have
been introduced for this area D3/Sunday. Further north across the
Great Basin, a mid-level shortwave trough and moisture atop a deeply
mixed lower troposphere may aid enough ascent for instances of dry
thunderstorms. However, less receptive fuels across this region
preclude the need for a Dry Thunder area at this time.
By early next week, a mid to upper-level cyclone is expected to
remain off the southern CA coast for a few days before moving
onshore late in the week around D7/Thursday-D8/Friday. Increasing
mid to low-level flow will eventually impact the Great Basin and
Southwest as this occurs. Confidence in the timing of this feature,
however, and details of receptive fuels overlapping meteorological
fire spread conditions is too unclear at this time to introduce any
low probabilities through the end of the week.

MD 1189 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN NV/UT INTO SOUTHERN ID
Mesoscale Discussion 1189
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0222 PM CDT Fri Jun 07 2024
Areas affected...Portions of northern NV/UT into southern ID
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 071922Z - 072145Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated strong to severe wind gusts may occur this
afternoon with high-based thunderstorms. Watch issuance is unlikely.
DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have developed this afternoon across
parts of northeast NV into western UT, as a shortwave trough
continues to move eastward across CA/NV. Robust daytime heating has
allowed surface temperatures to generally increase into the 80s.
Amid steepening low/mid-level lapse rates, a well-mixed boundary
layer should encourage some enhancement to convective downdraft
winds as DCAPE increases into the 1000-1500 J/kg range. Isolated
strong to severe wind gusts around 50-70 mph may occur with any of
the more robust cores that can develop and be sustained this
afternoon and early evening. Occasional marginally severe hail also
appears possible, with around 30-35 kt of deep-layer shear
supporting modest updraft organization. Limited instability and
low-level moisture, with MLCAPE generally forecast to remain less
than 1000 J/kg, should tend to temper the overall severe threat.
Accordingly, watch issuance is not anticipated.
