   Valid 271200Z - 281200Z

   ...Synopsis...
   A shortwave impulse embedded in a broader West Coast trough will
   progress eastward from California into Nevada today, bringing dry
   and windy conditions to much of the southern Great Basin, and
   isolated dry thunderstorms to portions of the Northwest. 

   ...Dry Thunder...
   A mix of dry and wet thunderstorms will be possible across portions
   of the Northwest, into western Wyoming and northern Utah. Any dry
   thunderstorms will be capable of gusty outflow capable of
   contributing to wildfire spread with any new lightning ignitions.
   While dry thunderstorm coverage appears possible across a larger
   area than highlighted, modest wetting rainfall over the last 48
   hours and current fuel guidance suggests that portions of northern
   Utah, northeastern Nevada, and southern Idaho will be less
   vulnerable to lightning-based ignitions and have been excluded from
   highlights.

   ...Dry and Windy...
   Southern Nevada into southwestern Utah will experience widespread
   critical meteorological conditions. However, current fuel guidance
   and previous wetting rainfall suggest fuels may not be receptive to
   wildfire spread. With the rate of fuel recovery also being
   uncertain, Critical highlights have been withheld.
