...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN
OREGON INTO EXTREME NORTHWEST NEVADA...

...Synopsis...
Upper ridging will persist across the central and eastern CONUS
while broad mid-level troughing remains in place along the West
Coast tomorrow (Wednesday). Mid-level moisture will continue to
pivot around the mid-level trough, toward the upper ridge, from the
Pacific Northwest into the northern Rockies. An embedded mid-level
impulse, accompanied by stronger flow aloft, will traverse the
northwest Great Basin and move northwestward into the Pacific
Northwest through the late afternoon to overnight period. As this
occurs, enhanced lift will promote at least scattered thunderstorms
over portions of the Pacific Northwest. Broad isolated
dry-thunderstorm highlights are in place for areas that will
experience lightning over dry fuels.

Along and east of the Cascades, forecast soundings depict inverted-v
thermodynamic profiles, which would support high-based, potentially
fast-moving thunderstorms. These storms may pass over fuels
receptive to fire spread, but with minimal rainfall accumulations
given fast storm speeds. Given the potentially higher density of
fast moving storms east of the Cascades, scattered dry thunderstorm
highlights have been introduced for central and eastern Oregon into
extreme northwest Nevada.
