   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE GREAT BASIN INTO
   THE CENTRAL ROCKIES...

   ...Synopsis...
   Moderate-strong midlevel westerly flow will be in place across the
   Great Basin into the central Rockies -- between a robust midlevel
   trough over the northern Rockies/High Plains and midlevel
   anticyclone over the southern Rockies/High Plains. 

   ...Great Basin into the Central Rockies...
   Similar to Day 1/Thursday, a diurnally deepening boundary layer will
   extend well into the moderate-strong westerly flow aloft. This will
   promote an expansive overlap of single-digit to lower teens RH and
   20-25 mph sustained westerly surface winds (with higher gusts).
   These hot, dry, and windy conditions atop receptive fuels will lead
   to another day of critical fire-weather conditions. 

   ...Dry Thunderstorms - Southwest into the central Rockies...
   Diurnal heating/mixing beneath an established midlevel moisture
   plume from the Southwest into the central Rockies will favor another
   day of isolated to widely scattered high-based thunderstorms during
   the afternoon. Associated inverted-V soundings and 0.50 to 0.75 inch
   PW will support mostly dry storms, capable of producing
   lightning-induced ignitions over dry fuels and gusty/erratic outflow
   winds.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

   Valid 081200Z - 141200Z

   A mid-level trough will gradually traverse the Interior West through
   the remainder of this week, ejecting into the Plains by this
   weekend. Thereafter, upper ridging will prevail west of the Rockies
   through most of next week. The passage of the mid-level trough on
   Day 3 (Friday) will encourage 20+ mph sustained southwesterly
   surface winds to overlap with 10-20 percent RH on a widespread basis
   across portions of the Great Basin into the Rockies. Given receptive
   fuels, up to 70 percent Critical probabilities have been introduced,
   particularly for areas expected to experience dry/windy conditions
   for several hours Friday afternoon. Across the Four Corners into the
   Southwest, enough mid-level moisture will linger each day through
   Sunday to support thunderstorm initiation given adequate mid-level
   buoyancy and orographic lift. These storms will develop atop a dry
   boundary layer, which should encourage at least a few dry strikes
   amid dry fuel beds, warranting 10 percent dry thunderstorm
   probabilities into the weekend.
