   Valid 181200Z - 191200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   A deeper trough will traverse the Pacific Northwest on D2/Friday
   bringing more widespread Elevated conditions across the areas along
   and east of the Cascades. Afternoon relative humidity around 10-20
   percent will overlap sustained westerly winds at 10-15 mph (locally
   higher). Some locally Critical conditions may persist for a couple
   of hours where terrain enhancements favor locally stronger winds in
   the Cascade Gaps. 

   ...Dry Thunderstorms...
   The western shortwave will bring forcing for ascent across portions
   of northern Nevada into southern Idaho and eastern Wyoming. This
   area remains on the periphery of deeper moisture across the
   Southwest into the Great Basin. High based convection and very dry
   boundary layer conditions will favor little to no measurable
   precipitation with potential for new ignitions from lightning.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0433 PM CDT Wed Jul 16 2025

   Valid 181200Z - 241200Z

   ...Day 3/Friday...
   A mid-level short wave entering into the Pacific Northwest will
   bring increasing onshore flow and subsequent enhanced gap winds  and
   dry downslope flow into the Columbia Basin and central OR, where
   expanding drought and dry fuels will promote wildfire spread.
   Farther southeast, elevated monsoon moisture and daytime instability
   over higher terrain along with some upper-level support from the
   incoming Pacific Northwest trough will instigate isolated high-based
   thunderstorms across portions of the northern Great Basin into
   southern ID and western WY. Northward transport of deeper monsoon
   moisture aided by a mid-level low over southern CA will continue to
   bring isolated to scattered thunderstorms with higher precipitation
   efficiency into the greater Four Corners region and southern Great
   Basin, limiting threat of widespread lightning ignitions.

   ...Day 4-6/Saturday-Monday...
   A deepening mid-level trough over the Pacific Northwest will usher
   in a multi-day fire weather threat into the northwestern U.S. and
   Great Basin regions over the weekend into early next week.
   Increasingly dry southwesterly flow will push residual monsoon
   moisture and thunderstorm threat primarily east of the Continental
   Divide by Day 6/Monday. The dry and breezy conditions will migrate
   southeastward starting with the Columbia basin and Snake River Plain
   on Day 4/Saturday before encompassing much of the Great Basin,
   northwestern UT and southeastern ID by Day 6/Monday. 40 percent
   probabilities for critical fire weather conditions have been added
   to the Great Basin region for Day 5-6/Sunday-Monday time frame.
   Meanwhile, the deepening mid-level trough over the Pacific Northwest
   will usher in cooler temperatures and higher humidity into the
   region early next week, mitigating fire weather concerns.

   ...Day 7-8/Tuesday-Wednesday...
   Uncertainty in timing regarding the lifting of the Pacific Northwest
   trough, rebuilding of the ridge across the Western U.S. and
   potential monsoon moisture surge into the Intermountain West limits
   introduction of critical fire weather probabilities at this time.
