An upper low is forecast to move into portions of the Pacific Northwest on Saturday with a fairly strong 70 kt jet streak. As this jet streak begins to enter the Great Basin, the cross-range flow and boundary layer mixing will result in dry and breezy conditions supporting Elevated fire-weather highlights. ...Northern Nevada into far southern portions of Oregon and Idaho... Westerly surface winds should become fairly gusty, reaching 20-25 MPH and relative humidity of 10-15%. However, fuels are generally in the vicinity of the 50th-60th annual ERC percentiles, suggesting a lack of receptiveness to wildfire ignition and spread. In spite of the meager fuels, meteorological conditions will warrant at least Elevated highlights owing to the strong surface winds. ..Halbert.. 09/11/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
