NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1102 AM CDT Sat Jul 05 2025



Valid 051700Z - 061200Z



...Update...

The latest high resolution model guidance suggests wind speeds may

be slightly higher just outside the bounds of the Elevated area.

Therefore, a slight modification was made to extend it east and

southward. Otherwise, the forecast remains unchanged for today.

Please see the previous discussion for additional details.

...Synopsis...

A mid-level ridge will continue to build across the southern Rockies

through the day. A weak 700 mb jet around the northwestern periphery

of the ridge is expected to mix downward amid strong surface heating

and provide a focus for fire weather concerns across portions of the

Great Basin. Winds may gust to 20-25 mph with 5-15% RH during the

afternoon. Therefore, an Elevated highlight has been maintained

across portions of southeastern Nevada and southwestern Utah where

these atmospheric conditions overlap with dry fuels that have not

received wetting rain recently.
