By Day 3/Sunday, the mid-level shortwave trough responsible for ongoing thunderstorms across the northern Rockies will move into the northern Great Plains. Quasi-zonal flow is expected over the rest of the northern CONUS, while subtropical ridging impacts the Southern Plains and Southwest. Farther west off the central CA coastline, a mid to upper-level cyclone is anticipated to meander near this region for a couple of days and then slowly progress north-northeastward towards northern CA by Day5/Tuesday. ...Day 5/Tuesday... Increasing mid to low-level flow is expected to develop Day 5/Tuesday over the Great Basin region as the height gradient tightens in association with the approaching CA cyclone. Very warm and dry atmospheric profiles are expected for several days preceding this feature, which will aid in even more receptive fuels being available by this time. Extended ensemble model guidance and high confidence in a deeply mixed boundary layer suggest there is now enough evidence to introduce low critical probabilities for breezy winds and low RH across eastern NV and western UT Day 5/Tuesday. ..Barnes.. 07/04/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
