   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SRN NV...EXTREME NE CA
   AND MUCH OF NRN AZ...
   
   ...SYNOPSIS...
   ...PORTIONS OF SRN NV...EXTREME NE CA AND MUCH OF NRN AZ...
   DEEP LAYER WLY FLOW WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S. TODAY
   AS A LARGE UPPER LOW OVER THE PACIFIC NW DIGS SOUTHWARD. DEVELOPING
   SFC LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN WILL LEAD TO A TIGHTENING
   PRESSURE GRADIENT FROM NV INTO CNTRL AND SRN CA. AS TEMPERATURES
   WARM INTO THE 90S TO NEAR 100 DEGREES /LOWER IN THE MOUNTAINS/ DEEP
   BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING WILL OCCUR AND RH VALUES FALLING INTO THE
   10-15 PERCENT RANGE WILL BE WIDESPREAD. SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS MAY BE
   SOMEWHAT MARGINAL IN THE 15-20 MPH RANGE...BUT GUSTY WINDS TO 30-35
   MPH WILL HELP TO ELEVATE THE FIRE WEATHER THREAT WHERE FUELS ARE DRY
   AND AT LEAST LOW-END CRITICAL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR A FEW
   HOURS DURING THE AFTERNOON. STRONG WINDS AND LOW RH VALUES WILL
   EXTEND INTO THE SE CA DESERTS BUT LACK OF FUELS WILL LIMIT A
   WIDESPREAD THREAT IN THIS AREA.
   
   ...CENTRAL NV...SRN UT INTO SW CO...MUCH OF NM AND SRN AZ...
   MARGINAL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED SURROUNDING THE CRITICAL AREA. WIND
   SPEEDS WILL BE WEAKER TO THE EAST ACROSS NM AND SRN AZ...FURTHER
   REMOVED FROM STRONGEST MID LEVEL FLOW AND SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT.
   ACROSS SRN UT...A MIX OF DRY AND GREEN FUELS WILL LIMIT POTENTIAL IN
   THAT AREA.
   
   ...CENTRAL CA VALLEYS...
   BREEZY N WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP DURING THE MORNING AND
   PERSIST INTO THE AFTERNOON. SPEEDS OF 10-15 MPH WITH SOME HIGHER
   GUSTS ARE EXPECTED. RH VALUES WILL RANGE FROM 10-20 PERCENT AS
   TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE 70S...LEADING TO AN ELEVATED FIRE THREAT.
