Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1258 AM CDT Thu Jul 17 2025

Valid 181200Z - 191200Z

...Synopsis...
A deeper trough will traverse the Pacific Northwest on D2/Friday
bringing more widespread Elevated conditions across the areas along
and east of the Cascades. Afternoon relative humidity around 10-20
percent will overlap sustained westerly winds at 10-15 mph (locally
higher). Some locally Critical conditions may persist for a couple
of hours where terrain enhancements favor locally stronger winds in
the Cascade Gaps.

...Dry Thunderstorms...
The western shortwave will bring forcing for ascent across portions
of northern Nevada into southern Idaho and eastern Wyoming. This
area remains on the periphery of deeper moisture across the
Southwest into the Great Basin. High based convection and very dry
boundary layer conditions will favor little to no measurable
precipitation with potential for new ignitions from lightning.
