.DISCUSSION...
(This afternoon through next Thursday)
Issued at 1242 PM PDT Thu Jun 26 2025

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Conditions will continue to remain
rather dry over the next several days with gradually warming
afternoon highs. The upper flow will remain out of the west and
southwest as an upper level ridge consolidates over the desert
southwest through the end of the weekend. Breezy afternoon winds
will be prevalent Friday with gusts of 20 to 25 mph. Another round
of breezy winds will also develop on Saturday with highs in the
upper 80s to mid 90s. In addition, weak impulses in the flow from
passing northern stream systems will help to bring some moisture
and instability into the area. This means isolated thunderstorms
are expected to develop over the far north and eastern part of
Nevada during the afternoon starting Saturday, and again next
Monday.

The upper ridge will continue to expand its influence
over the southwestern United State for early next week though
models are hinting at a weak upper trough trying to work east,
displacing the ridge. This will help to cool things down just a
little bit, with highs in the mid 80s to low 90s by mid-week.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS:

Confidence remains high as models are in very good agreement on
the course of upper level ridging building across the region
leading to very warm temperatures over the period.

.FIRE WEATHER...

Elevated fire weather concerns over the region as upper ridging

conditions.
