Weather Outlook
Critical fire weather conditions are possible across the Great Basin as a compact, fast-moving cold front moves east along the northern state lines of California and Nevada.
In addition to breezy westerly winds and low humidities, a small cluster of dry thunderstorms will accompany the passage of the system as it moves east.
Further south across the central and southern Great Basin, breezy winds and low humidities are also expected.
Another surge of monsoonal moisture will move into Arizona and New Mexico bringing more lightning.
Humidities south of the Mogollon Rim will be slightly elevated, while north and east of the Rim they will be critical low.
Along the West Coast, onshore flow will continue. Temperatures will be near-average.
