U.S. Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

   Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1155 AM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025

   Valid 301700Z - 011200Z

   ...Northern California and Southwestern Oregon...
   An approaching mid-level trough, steep low-level lapse rates and
   increasing mid-level moisture and instability will aid a mix of
   wet/dry thunderstorm development across the higher terrain of
   northern California, with showers and thunderstorms propagating into
   southern Oregon along and east of the Cascades through this evening.
   Isolated dry thunderstorm highlights persist where new ignitions are
   possible atop dry fuels.

   ...Great Basin...
   The mid-level trough entering California and associated stronger
   southerly mid-level flow will overspread the Great Basin today. A
   deep, well-mixed boundary layer will facilitate gusty surface winds
   from the south of up to 25 mph across central Nevada, with sustained
   winds of around 15 mph. The enhanced winds along with low relative
   humidity will promote an elevated fire weather threat amid receptive
   fuels.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0215 AM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   Across the US, sub-tropical ridging will build over the Plains,
   keeping stronger flow aloft displaced to the north while an upper
   low will overspread portions of the West Coast. Ahead of the low,
   breezy southerly winds will advect monsoon moisture northward into
   parts of CA and OR. Dry thunderstorms and dry/breezy conditions
   appear likely to support elevated fire-weather potential across the
   Northwest and Great Basin today.

   ...Northwest...
   Weak ascent from an approaching upper trough will allow for isolated
   to widely scattered thunderstorms across northern CA and southern OR
   through tonight. Strong heating and dry sub-cloud layers with steep
   lapse rates below 500mb will support a mixed wet/dry thunderstorm
   environment capable of occasional dry lightning strikes.
   Additionally, erratic outflow winds are likely near storms. The
   increased potential for dry lightning atop receptive fuels, warrants
   continuation of IsodryT probabilities where fire starts are
   possible.

   ...Great Basin...
   Beneath the upper ridge, very hot surface temperatures are expected
   over parts of NV and western UT. Southerly surface winds may gust to
   15-20 mph through the afternoon, concurrent with widespread RH
   values below 15%. The presence of breezy low-level winds and the
   hot/dry conditions will overlap with a progressively drier and
   receptive fuels across NV. This could support a few hours of
   elevated fire-weather potential through this evening.
      

U.S. Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

   Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0257 PM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025

   Valid 011200Z - 021200Z

   ...Northern California into Oregon...
   Upper-level low and favorable convective environment will support a
   mix of dry/wet thunderstorms mainly across the higher terrain of
   northern California into much of southern and central Oregon.
   Isolated dry thunderstorm highlights were adjusted slightly
   southward along the California Coastal Range and northern Sierra
   Nevada.

   ...Great Basin...
   The mid-level trough and associated elevated mid-level flow will
   promote elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions across
   much of central and eastern Nevada. South winds of 15-20 mph
   combined with relative humidity at or below 15 percent will support
   higher wildfire spread potential within dry fuels.

   ...Central Utah into Northwestern Arizona...
   Isolated dry thunderstorm threat was expanded into northwestern
   Arizona for Tuesday. Deeper monsoon moisture will remain south of
   the Mogollon Rim Tuesday with a mix of wet and dry thunderstorms
   expected in the afternoon. Fuels remain dry with potential dry
   lightning ignitions away from heavier precipitation cores.

   ..Williams.. 06/30/2025

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0221 AM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025/

   ...Synopsis...
   Mid-level flow across the CONUS should continue to amplify as the
   sub-tropical ridge over the West gradually shifts eastward. The
   upper low across the West Coast will intensify, spreading enhanced
   flow aloft and monsoon moisture over much of the West. The increased
   moisture will support dry thunderstorms over the Northwest and UT,
   while warm and breezy conditions will favor elevated fire-weather
   conditions over the Great Basin.

   ...Central Great Basin...
   As the upper low over the West intensifies, enhanced mid-level flow
   will overspread parts of the Great Basin and Southwest. On the
   periphery of the building upper ridge, very warm and dry conditions
   are likely. The stronger southerly mid-level flow over top the
   dry/well-mixed boundary layer will support gusty southerly winds
   across central/southern NV Tuesday. Widespread gusts of 15-25 mph
   are expected, with RH values below 15%. As area fuels continuing to
   dry, elevated to locally critical fire-weather conditions are
   likely.

   ...Dry Thunderstorms...
   A second day of thunderstorms is expected from northern CA into
   southern OR and western ID Tuesday. Weak ascent from the upper low,
   coupled with northward moving monsoon moisture will support
   scattered storms through much of the day. Increased storm motions
   and, steep low-level lapse rates will still favor relatively poor
   precipitation efficiency. This suggests dry lighting is again
   possible across the northern Coastal ranges of CA, east of the
   Cascades to the OR/ID border.

   Across parts of UT, the initial influx of deeper monsoon moisture
   from the upper-level trough into the Intermountain West will support
   isolated thunderstorms across the central mountains Tuesday. With
   PWAT values of 0.7-0.8 inches and modest storm speeds, a mixed mode
   of wet and dry storms is expected over the higher terrain. Very
   receptive fuels (ERCs > 90th percentile), suggest dry lightning
   ignitions are possible outside the heavier precip core.


U.S. Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0459 PM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025

   Valid 011200Z - 071200Z

   ...Days 3-4/Tuesday-Wednesday...
   An increasing fire weather threat is expected across portions of the
   western U.S. as a mid-level low moves into California. Mid-level
   moisture and instability north of the low will support isolated to
   scattered showers and thunderstorms across the northern California
   into southern Oregon, primarily along and east of the Cascades. A
   mix of wet/dry thunderstorms will support new ignitions where over
   available dry fuels. 40-50 knot southerly mid-level flow over a
   dry/well-mixed boundary layer will support stronger south winds
   across southern Nevada Day 3/Tuesday. An upper-level short wave and
   increasing surface pressure gradients will bring enhanced west winds
   into the Columbia Basin Day 4/Wednesday. The upper-level trough,
   initial influx of deeper monsoon moisture into the Intermountain
   West and daytime instability will support isolated dry thunderstorms
   across the central Utah Mountains Day 3/Tuesday, with expanding
   thunderstorm coverage heading into Day 4/Wednesday to include
   western Wyoming/far southeastern Idaho as well as east-central
   Nevada.

   ...Days 5-8/Thursday-Sunday...
   Another mid-level short wave and associated stronger mid-level flow
   entering the western U.S. late in the week will increase fire
   weather concerns across the Great Basin on Day 6/Friday. Long term
   ensemble guidance does indicate at least a weak upper-level
   troughing pattern across the western U.S. but uncertainty remains in
   specific fire weather impacts in the long term.
