NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0200 AM CDT Thu Jul 27 2023

Valid 271200Z - 281200Z

...Synopsis...
Multiple mid-level perturbations will traverse northern portions of
the CONUS while pivoting around a broad upper ridge across the
central and southern U.S. today. One mid-level perturbation will
overspread the northern Great Basin during the afternoon,
encouraging 15+ mph sustained westerly winds in association with
downslope flow along the lee of the higher terrain. With RH expected
to dip well below 20 percent, Elevated highlights have been
maintained from the California/Nevada border to the Snake River
Plain. Monsoonal moisture will continue to support scattered
thunderstorm development across the Intermountain West. Any
lightning strikes that can occur in dry fuel beds will support a
localized wildfire-spread threat.
