   Valid 271200Z - 281200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   Upper troughing will persist along the West Coast as the upper ridge
   continues to build over the central and eastern U.S. tomorrow
   (Sunday). Mid-level moisture along the upper trough will overspread
   a dry boundary layer, characterized by inverted-v profiles (based on
   forecast soundings). As such, a mix of wet and dry high-based
   thunderstorms is anticipated during the afternoon and evening hours
   across portions of the Pacific Northwest toward the northern
   Rockies. Given dry fuels over the region and associated potential
   for lightning induced ignitions, isolated dry thunderstorm
   highlights have been added.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0453 PM CDT Fri Jul 25 2025

   Valid 271200Z - 021200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   A subtropical ridge will begin to expand over much of the central
   and southern CONUS into early next week, while troughing continues
   over the Pacific. Deepening south-southwesterly flow will accompany
   this pattern from southern CA into the Pacific Northwest and Great
   Basin through at least mid week.

   ...D3/Sunday...
   A couple of mid-level perturbations will continue to impact the
   northern Sierra, northern Great Basin, and portions of the Pacific
   Northwest. Ascent and moisture associated with these features, in
   addition to orographic lift, will likely support low shower and
   thunderstorm chances across these regions. A low probability area
   for dry thunderstorms was considered mainly for the northern Sierra
   and southern OR east of the Cascades, but will not be introduced
   into the forecast at this time given a lack of confidence in lower
   PWAT values.

   Localized hot, dry, and breezy conditions are expected across the
   Southwest, Great Basin, and portions of the central Rockies.
   However, lower overall wind speeds preclude the need for any low
   critical probability areas for the time being.

   ...D4/Monday-D7/Thursday...
   Chances of showers and thunderstorms will continue into at least
   D7/Thursday from northern CA, into the Pacific Northwest, and
   northern Rockies downstream of a persistent Pacific trough. A slow
   increase in low to mid-level moisture each day should limit the
   opportunity for dry lightning strikes, although an initial threat of
   this may exist early in the week.
