.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 143 PM MST Sat Nov 23 2024

Currently, conditions are quiet with the winds light and variable,
the skies sunny and the temperatures on the mild side. For tonight,
quiet weather conditions will continue with high pressure off the
coast of Baja California and a zonal flow aloft. The skies will
be partly cloudy and winds near the surface mainly light except
across the eastern slopes of the Sacramento Mountains. Due to
this, the low temperatures on Sunday morning will be several
degrees above the normal. For Sunday, flat riding will continue as
a storm system moves across our far north. The winds will
increase to breezy with the weak surface lee cyclone across the
Central Plains and jet over head. The strong winds will be
generally from the west; thus, the high temperatures in the
afternoon will be above the average.

For the rest of the period, conditions will be mostly quiet. A
backdoor cold front will move down south as a surface high
pressure expands behind the storm system that will move to our
far north on Sunday. This cold front will bring cooler afternoon
high temperatures on Monday. However, this front will north cool
us down that much as the temperatures will remain above the
normal, but they will be 1 to 5 degrees cooler than what they will
be on Sunday afternoon. This cold front will move out overnight
Monday with the temperatures warming a couple of degrees on
Tuesday ahead of positively tilted trough across the Pacific West.
By Wednesday, the trough will move over the Rockies and as it
does, the winds will begin to pick up. The winds on Wednesday will
be the strongest of the week. With a jet moving aloft and an
boundary associated cold front boundary moving to the south, this
will allow for the winds to be breezy to low end windy throughout
the day on Wednesday. This cold front will push through overnight
Wednesday into Thursday morning, which will cause to the high
temperatures toward the latter half of the week to cool to near
the normal even though some areas will still remain a few degrees
the average.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 143 PM MST Sat Nov 23 2024

Mostly dry weather conditions will persist for the rest of the
day. Tonight recovery will be mainly fair. For Sunday, moisture
will decrease. The winds will be light to breezy and temperatures
above the normal. Sunday overnight recovery will be somewhat
similar to that of tonight`s recovery. Moisture will increase a
little on Monday. For the rest of the period, mostly quiet
weather conditions are expected. The winds will be breezy on
Wednesday ahead of a cold front that is expected to move through
during the overnight hours. The temperatures will be above the
normal through Wednesday pre-frontal then cool to near the normal
post-frontal for the rest of the week. With that being said,
except for a few areas of elevated to near critical conditions,
generally there will be no fire weather concerns through the
period.

The min RHs will be below 17% areawide on Sunday, but will
increase 5 to 15% on Monday. The ventilation rates will be poor
to very good on Sunday then poor to good on Monday.
