A longwave trough will remain over the northwestern CONUS through the day on Monday, and a shortwave trough will dig across the northern Rockies and Great Basin. This will result in breezy conditions across portions of the Great Basin and the Southwestern CONUS with low RH in place and dry fuels. ...Southwest, Great Basin, and central Rockies... Strong vertical mixing during the afternoon with modest flow aloft is expected to result in winds of 20-30 mph along with RH near 5-15% for several hours across this region. Continued poor RH recovery overnight will contribute to dry fuels. Therefore, a Critical area is introduced across the area. Surrounding this is an Elevated area, where winds are generally expected to be near 15-20 mph with 5-15% RH and receptive fuels. ...Central High Plains... Upslope flow may provide the lift for convective development Monday afternoon in the presence of a relatively dry boundary layer. Precipitable water and storm motions may be a bit marginal, but it appears a mix of wet and dry thunderstorm activity may occur, which warrants an Isolated Dry Thunder area. ..Supinie.. 06/07/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
