Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1243 AM CDT Thu Jul 09 2026



Valid 101200Z - 111200Z



...Synopsis...

An upper-level trough will move towards and deepen offshore from the

Pacific Northwest, while the upper high will shift eastward over

southern California. Stronger mid-level winds will begin to

overspread the Northwest with the onshore pressure gradient

strengthening again as a Pacific cold front moves into the

Northwest. Mid-level moisture that has been present across the Great

Basin and Four Corners will continue to push east of the Front Range

and suppressed southward to southern Arizona/New Mexico.



Dry and breezy conditions are expected to develop across much of the

Great Basin into the Four Corners. West-southwest sustained winds of

12-20 mph amid minimum RH of 8-20% are likely to develop from

central/eastern Oregon to the Four Corners. The strongest winds are

likely across the Sierra Front and northwest Nevada into portions of

southeast Oregon and southwest Idaho. While winds will not be as

strong across portions of central/northern Utah into western

Colorado, locally elevated conditions are expected. Locally elevated

conditions may extend into portions of southeast/eastern Idaho as

well. 



Isolated high-based showers and thunderstorms are possible across

portions of southeast Idaho, northern Utah, and northwest Colorado.

While building to towering Cu are likely over the higher terrain,

thunderstorm chances are less than 10%, with high-based convective

showers with little to no rainfall reaching the ground more likely.
