Upper troughing will transition into a closed low over northern California and southern Oregon on Day 2/Wednesday, maintaining strong southwesterly flow across the Great Basin. Hot and dry conditions will continue across Texas and Oklahoma as high pressure expands into the Central U.S., though much lighter winds will limit broader fire weather concerns. ...Central-eastern Nevada... Deep-layer southwest flow coupled with a dry airmass and efficient daytime mixing will promote an Elevated fire weather threat for portions of central-eastern Nevada on Day 2/Wednesday. At peak heating, sustained southwesterly winds of 15-20 mph and RH values of 15% or less will overlap drying fuels. RH may decline to less than 10% in some valleys, but marginal fuel receptiveness will mute a more significant fire weather concern across the area. ..Elizalde-Garcia.. 09/15/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
