   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR SE ORE/NE CA/SRN ID/SCNTRL MT/NRN
   NV/NW UT...
   
   ...SYNOPSIS...
   WRN UPPER TROUGH WILL DEEPEN SIGNIFICANTLY THROUGH THE FORECAST
   PERIOD WITH INCREASING MID LEVEL FLOW IN EXCESS OF 80 KT.
   SIGNIFICANT LARGE SCALE HEIGHT FALLS WILL SUPPORT LEE CYCLOGENESIS
   ACROSS ERN MT/WY DURING THE DAY. MEANWHILE A POTENT COLD FRONT NOW
   LOCATED ACROSS ERN WA/NW ORE WILL MOVE SEWD ACROSS NRN CA/SE ORE/SW
   ID BY LATE AFTN. GUSTY W/SW WINDS WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE
   BOUNDARY...WHICH COMBINED WITH LOW RH VALUES AND ABOVE NORMAL
   TEMPS...WILL CONTRIBUTE TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS
   PORTIONS OF THE NRN ROCKIES/NRN GREAT BASIN. FARTHER EAST INVOF THE
   LEE TROUGH...HUMIDITY VALUES WILL ALSO BE LOW BUT SUSTAINED SFC
   WINDS WILL REMAIN AOB 20 MPH.
   
   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA 1 - SE ORE/NE CA/SRN ID/SCNTRL MT/NRN
   NV/NW UT...
   
   PRIMARY CONDITIONS: SUSTAINED SFC WINDS 15-25 MPH WITH HIGHER
   GUSTS/MINIMUM RH VALUES BELOW 15 PERCENT/DRY FUELS
   
   LATEST MODELS SUGGEST CLOUDS/PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH LARGE
   SCALE ASCENT/APPROACHING FRONT WILL LIMIT POTENTIAL FOR CRITICAL
   FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER MUCH OF ORE...EXCEPT FOR THE FAR
   SOUTHEAST. MODERATE PRECIPITATION OCCURRING EARLY THIS MORNING
   ACROSS PORTIONS OF NW ORE/SE WA WILL MOVE ACROSS MUCH OF THE STATE 
   EARLY TODAY. HOWEVER...SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY SFC WINDS WILL INCREASE
   INTO THE 15-25 MPH RANGE WITH HIGHER GUSTS ABOVE 35 MPH POSSIBLE.
   WINDS WILL BE EVEN STRONGER ACROSS SCNTRL/SE MT. SFC DEWPOINTS IN
   THE TEENS WITH HIGH TEMPS IN THE UPPER 70S/LOWER 80S WILL RESULT IN
   MINIMUM RH VALUES AROUND 10-15 PERCENT. FUELS HAVE BEEN DRYING THE
   PAST FEW DAYS WITH LATEST NFDRS FIRE DANGER CLASS OBS IN THE
   HIGH/VERY HIGH RANGE.

   STORM SYSTEMS WILL BE APPROACHING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST DEEPENING
   THE LARGE SCALE TROUGH ACROSS THE WEST. AS THE UPPER JET SHIFTS SWD
   ACROSS CNTRL CA INTO THE GREAT BASIN...THREAT FOR STRONG SFC
   WINDS/LOW RH WILL BE CONFINED TO THE SOUTH SIDE OF AN ELONGATED COLD
   FRONT.

   ANOTHER WINDY DRY DAY IS EXPECTED FOR PORTIONS OF THE CNTRL AND SRN
   GREAT BASIN THROUGH UT/WY ON SUNDAY. SFC COLD FRONT WILL EXTEND FROM
   ERN ND/SRN WY/CNTRL NV BY EARLY SUNDAY EVENING.  AHEAD OF THE FRONT
   SW WINDS WILL RANGE FROM 15-30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH IN SOME
   LOCATIONS. SOME UNCERTAINTY EXISTS WITH REGARD TO MAX TEMP/FRONTAL
   POSITION AND POSSIBLE PRECIPITATION ALONG THE FRONT. GENERALLY
   COOLER TEMPS ARE FORECAST WHICH MAY KEEP RH VALUES HIGHER.
