As mid-level ridging builds over the western US, a weak subtropical low will deepen along the western periphery of the ridge across CA Monday. The building mid-level heights and approach of the upper trough will allow robust mid-level moisture to shift northward across portions of the West. ...Northwest... Heating across the higher terrain, coupled with weak ascent from the approaching upper trough will allow for isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms across northern CA and southern OR Monday afternoon and evening. Dry sub-cloud layers with steep lapse rates below 500mb will support a mixed wet/dry thunderstorm environment. Given the potential for dry lightning atop receptive fuels, an IsoDryT area has been added across parts of the Northwest where fire starts are possible. ...Great Basin... Farther south, beneath the upper ridge, very hot surface temperatures are expected over parts of NV and western UT. While surface winds are not expected to be overly strong, widespread RH values below 15% will be present. Occasional 15 mph wind gusts on a local basis and the hot/dry conditions could support a few hours of locally elevated fire-weather potential over dry fuels. ..Lyons.. 06/29/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
