   Valid 121200Z - 131200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   An upper low is forecast to move into portions of the Pacific
   Northwest on Saturday with a fairly strong 70 kt jet streak. As this
   jet streak begins to enter the Great Basin, the cross-range flow and
   boundary layer mixing will result in dry and breezy conditions
   supporting Elevated fire-weather highlights. 


   ...Northern Nevada into far southern portions of Oregon and Idaho...

   Westerly surface winds should become fairly gusty, reaching 20-25
   MPH and relative humidity of 10-15%. However, fuels are generally in
   the vicinity of the 50th-60th annual ERC percentiles, suggesting a
   lack of receptiveness to wildfire ignition and spread. In spite of
   the meager fuels, meteorological conditions will warrant at least
   Elevated highlights owing to the strong surface winds.

   Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

   Valid 121200Z - 181200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   An upper-level low will enter the Pacific Northwest and Northern
   Rockies this weekend with an accompanying 60-70 kt jet over the
   Great Basin. This pattern may provide broader precipitation chances
   and much cooler temperatures to the northwestern CONUS, thus
   subduing fire weather concerns; however, strong southwesterly winds
   amid critically low RH values may support a broader fire weather
   threat in the Great Basin on Day 3/Saturday. As troughing departs
   into the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region early next week, a
   very dry airmass and near normal temperatures will reside over the
   western CONUS. Simultaneously, ridging is forecast to build across
   the Southeast favoring drier conditions and above normal
   temperatures.

   ...Day 3/Saturday...
   A robust upper low will impinge upon the northwestern U.S. on Day
   3/Saturday, amplifying west-southwesterly flow over northern CA and
   the western Great Basin. Ensemble guidance depicts expansive 60-80%
   probabilities of wind speeds exceeding 25 mph amid critically low RH
   in northeastern CA, northern NV, southeastern OR, and southern ID.
   Despite modest ERCs, drought-stressed fuels could support new
   ignitions given the severity of meteorological conditions. As a
   result, 40% Critical probabilities were maintained across the
   region. Farther west, gusty west/southwesterly winds of 10-20 mph
   and RH values of 15-25% are expected in the Sacramento Valley.
   Marginal fuels preclude Critical probabilities at this time;
   however, new ignitions cannot be ruled out within localized dry
   fuels.
