...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN GREAT
BASIN...
...Synopsis...
A large amplitude upper-level trough will move into the western
CONUS on Wednesday. Strengthening mid-level flow around the base of
this trough will overspread the dry airmass in the Great Basin
Wednesday. Deep mixing during the afternoon will transport 20 to 25
mph winds to the surface where surface relative humidity is expected
to be around 10 to 15 percent. These conditions support a critical
fire weather delineation in portions of the southern Great Basin.
In addition to these fire weather conditions, this strong
upper-level trough will also bring significant rainfall to most of
Oregon, Washington, and Idaho which should significantly reduce fire
weather threat in these regions for at least a few weeks and could
possibly serve as a season ending event for many areas, especially
considering the significant rainfall totals across these areas
during the past week.
