770 FNUS21 KWNS 230657 FWDDY1 Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0156 AM CDT Sat Aug 23 2025 Valid 231200Z - 241200Z ...Synopsis... An expansive midlevel high will remain in place over the Four Corners vicinity, while deepening monsoonal moisture continues spreading northward across the Great Basin into the Northwest. Along the western periphery of the midlevel high, an unseasonably hot/unstable air mass will persist across much of CA into the Great Basin, where another day of diurnally driven showers and thunderstorms are expected. While the gradually deepening monsoonal moisture will favor a mix of wet/dry thunderstorms, a dry/deeply mixed sub-cloud layer will tend to limit precipitation accumulations over many areas. As a result, isolated lightning-induced ignitions will be possible over dry fuels, along with gusty/erratic outflow winds. ..Weinman.. 08/23/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
