| LONG TERM (MON-THU)... THIS PERIOD WILL BE CHARACTERIZED AS QUITE HOT AND DRY WITH A DOMINANT HIGH ALOFT OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THE WARMEST LOCATIONS ARE LIKELY TO RISE TO AROUND 106 DEGREES AND THE HOT CONDITIONS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SPREAD TO AT LEAST THE INTERIOR SECTIONS OF THE COASTAL PLAIN. DIFFERENT MEDIUM RANGE MODELS DO NOT AGREE ON HOW MUCH HIGH PRESSURE DROPS INTO THE GREAT BASIN... FROM TUESDAY TO THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK. THEREFORE...CONFIDENCE IS NOT ROBUST REGARDING THE EXTENT OF OFFSHORE FLOW AND RESULTANT DRY DESERT WINDS. NERVERTHELESS...HOT DRY CONDITIONS OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD WITH SOME DEGREE OF GUSTY WINDS THROUGH AND BELOW PASSES AND CANYONS WILL LIKELY CREATE HIGH FIRE DANGER. |
Good thing the Station Fire is pretty much extinguished. This looks like it might be the most intense heat wave of the year.
