A similar upper-level pattern to Wednesday is expected on Thursday. Broad cyclonic flow will persist across the West, Plains, and Upper Midwest. Some amplification of a ridge within the south-central U.S. is forecast. The southern Great Basin boundary will lift northward bringing precipitation to more of the central Great Basin. With a belt of stronger mid-level winds remaining in the Southwest, another day of dry and breezy conditions are probable in southeast Arizona into parts of central New Mexico. With another day of drying on Wednesday, it is possible that fire weather concerns will be slightly increased on Thursday. Still, winds will be on the marginal side (mostly around 15 mph). The current expectation is that only locally elevated conditions will occur. As thunderstorms shift northward from Wednesday, some activity will shift into areas that have not had fuel indices reduced by multiple convective days. However, scattered storms are expected with aided lift from the boundary and storm motions are not expected to be fast. This all suggests a primarily wet storm mode and limited lightning ignition risk. ..Wendt.. 06/04/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
