Fire weather concerns are expected to remain fairly localized on Wednesday across the country. The upper trough currently migrating into the lower Colorado River Valley is expected to begin de-amplifying and drifting into the northern Rockies through the day Wednesday. This will weaken winds across much of the Four Corners/central Rockies where dry/breezy conditions have been prevalent for the past several days. Little moisture recovery is anticipated, so areas that typically see terrain-enhanced winds may experience periods of elevated fire weather conditions Wednesday afternoon. Currently, this appears most probable from northeast AZ into eastern UT, but confidence in the coverage/duration of elevated conditions is too limited for highlights. Further to the west, zonal flow over the northern Sierra Nevada is expected to increase as the weakening upper trough departs the Great Basin. This will promote a downslope flow regime across northeast NV and adjacent portions of CA and OR. Model guidance continues to show uncertainty regarding the strength of the downslope winds and potential for fire weather concerns. More aggressive solutions hint that areas of elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions are possible. Regardless, ERCs near or below the 80th percentile should help modulate a more robust fire weather ..Moore.. 06/24/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
