SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1024 AM CDT Sat Jun 23 2018 Valid 231700Z - 241200Z ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN INTO NORTHERN ARIZONA... Critical fire weather conditions are expected to develop across portions of the southern Great Basin and into northern Arizona this afternoon/evening. Locally critical fire weather conditions (sustained surface winds of 10-20 mph; RH values of 5-20%) should develop across portions of eastern Utah and into western/southern Colorado this afternoon into the evening along/ahead of an approaching mid-level jet. The elevated area was expanded farther into Colorado to reflect this. Very hot/dry/unstable conditions (surface temperatures 100+ F and single digit RH) are expected to develop in the Sacramento Valley, which should locally enhance the thermal trough and surface winds. Farther south in the Central Transverse Ranges and vicinity, winds will increase as the pressure gradient enhances between onshore flow and hot/dry interior valleys. This will lead to locally critical fire weather conditions (sustained surface winds 10-20 mph; RH values of 5-20%) including wind gusts around 40 mph. ..Nauslar.. 06/23/2018 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0147 AM CDT Sat Jun 23 2018/ ...Synopsis... An upper-level trough will dig into the southern/eastern Great Basin today. Enhanced mid-level flow will exist across parts of western Nevada, Utah, and northern Arizona. At the surface, a trough will be draped from western Colorado into southern California. ...Great Basin and southwest CONUS... Critical fire weather conditions are expected for parts of the southern Great Basin and northern Arizona. Strong surface heating will help to mix down enhanced mid-level flow from a passing upper-level trough. A weak surface trough in the region will also aid in increasing surface winds. Across this area surface winds of 25 mph will be common amidst 5-15% RH. Minor changes have been made to the critical area from the previous forecast to account for small shifts in where strong surface flow will exist. Some areas of eastern Utah may experience locally critical fire weather conditions, but winds will only intermittently reach 25 mph. Surrounding the critical area, a broad area of elevated fire weather conditions will exist. RH values of 5-15% will be common across these areas, but surface winds will not likely reach critical levels as these areas will be displaced from the strongest mid-level flow. ...Portion of the Sacramento Valley...Central Traverse Ranges and vicinity... Strong mid-level flow along the backside of the upper-level trough will lead to elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions in the parts of the Sacramento Valley. RH will drop to 5-15% with downsloping flow, but surface winds will generally be to light at 15-20 mph to warrant critical designation. Farther south, the approaching upper-level trough will lead to a deepening surface trough over southern California and southwest Nevada. This enhanced pressure gradient will lead to elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions in the Central Traverse Ranges and adjacent northern/eastern valleys. RH of 5-10% will be present with surface winds reaching 20-25 mph. Recent guidance suggests that locally critical areas within this region are likely; however, winds of 20+ mph will not generally persist for long enough periods to warrant an added critical region. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
