Wildfire Aware Situation Report: Weather Discussion

Wildfire Aware Situation Report

Provided by the National Interagency Fire Center

Breezy west to southwest winds will develop across much of the Inland Northwest into the northern Rockies and northern and western Great Basin. Elevated to locally critical conditions are expected as minimum relative humidity falls to 5-20%. Moisture will increase for much of Arizona into western New Mexico with scattered to widespread mainly wet thunderstorms, while isolated to scattered mixed wet and dry thunderstorms are forecast for southeast California, the eastern and southern Great Basin, and Rockies. Significant fire potential will remain moderate for much of the areas, but high-risk significant fire potential is forecast for portions of north-central Montana. Above normal temperatures will continue across much of the Intermountain West through the Plains and into the Southeast. Thunderstorms will develop from the northern and central Plains through the Mid-Mississippi Valley into the Southeast, with a few severe thunderstorms as well. Above-normal temperatures will continue across the central and eastern Interior, spreading into south-central Alaska today, but thunderstorms will be limited, occurring near the Canadian border.

Red Flag Warnings are in effect for areas throughout eastern Washington and Oregon, as well as Idaho. The Storm Prediction Center has issued Elevated Fire Weather areas from California/Nevada border to the Snake River Plain, and eastern Washington.
