   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   A mid-level trough in the northwestern CONUS will contribute to a 
   corridor of dry southwest flow over the southern/central Great Basin
   Saturday. Although south-southwesterly surface winds of 15-20 mph
   and RH reductions in the 15-20% range are expected across
   southern/central Nevada, recent rainfall and marginal fuels still
   precludes introduction of Elevated highlights for this event.

   ...Synopsis...
   A midlevel trough will gradually amplify over the West on Saturday
   afternoon, resulting in strengthening deep-layer southerly flow
   across parts of the southern and central Great Basin. Deep
   boundary-layer mixing will support south-southwesterly surface winds
   of 15-20 mph amid afternoon RH of 15-20 percent. While locally
   elevated fire-weather conditions are possible across
   southern/central NV, marginal fuels should generally limit
   fire-weather concerns.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0421 PM CDT Fri Sep 25 2026

   Valid 271200Z - 031200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   A weakening coastal low will likely bring additional widespread
   precipitation to portions of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast through
   early next week while an upper-level trough amplifies across the
   western U.S. Dry and breezy conditions across parts of the Great
   Basin are expected on D3/Sunday within a strengthening southwest
   flow regime as the upper trough evolves. Northward transport of
   abundant remnant moisture from ongoing eastern Pacific tropical
   cyclone activity aided by the upper trough/low, is likely to promote
   widespread precipitation as far west as interior CA into much of the
   Southwest for Days 4-5/Monday-Tuesday. Deeper moisture and related
   rainfall moves in the southern/central Plains Days
   6-7/Wednesday-Thursday as the upper trough progresses slowly
   eastward, providing temporary relief to an existing dry fuelscape.
   This pattern could also promote a period of dry, offshore flow
   across southern CA as early as D4/Monday. However, forecast
   uncertainty in expected upper trough position and potential rainfall
   reduces predictability of impacts.

   ...Day 3/Sunday - Great Basin...
   A strengthening upper trough moving into the Pacific Northwest and
   northern CA will bolster mid-level southwest flow over the Great
   Basin on Day 3/Sunday. A corridor of stronger southwest winds (20-25
   mph), southeast of a stalled frontal boundary amid RH reductions as
   low as 10% is likely by Sunday afternoon. This will promote a fire
   weather threat over sufficiently dry fuels across portions of
   central/eastern NV where 40% critical probabilities have been
   introduced.
