...Synopsis...
Broad mid-level troughing will overspread the Interior West today,
with multiple mid-level impulses poised to pivot around the trough
through the Day 1 period. Upper support with a glancing mid-level
impulse will encourage dry and windy conditions across portions of
the eastern Great Basin. 20+ mph sustained southwesterly surface
winds amid 15 percent RH will overspread dry fuels for several hours
during the afternoon, warranting Critical highlights.

Mid-level moisture will continue to advect northward across the
Pacific Northwest and overspread a relatively dry low-level airmass.
High-based thunderstorms will develop during the afternoon and
evening hours, with a mix of wet and dry storms possible. Given
receptive fuels, isolated dry thunderstorm highlights have been
added.
