...Synopsis...
Upper-level troughing over the north/central U.S. will gradually shift eastward into the Great Lakes region, while upper ridging continues to strengthen and lift northward across the western CONUS. A dry airmass will persist in the Interior West amid a very dry fuelscape, but weakening mid/upper-level flow as the trough departs should limit broader sustained winds to less than 15 mph. However, locally elevated fire concerns may emerge across southeast Idaho into portions of the Colorado Plateau and adjacent higher elevations where terrain-driven winds combine with RH values of 5-15%. Farther west, locally elevated fire weather conditions are expected as a thermal trough extending out of northern California into western Oregon/Washington promotes hot, dry, unstable, and localized breezy winds.
