   ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL
   UTAH...

   The forecast remains on track, and only minor changes were made to
   the Critical area in southern/central UT -- based on the latest
   high-resolution guidance. For details, see the previous discussion
   below.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0159 AM CDT Sat Jul 06 2024/

   ...Synopsis...
   A mid-level trough is expected to remain over the central CONUS with
   a shortwave trough and associated mid-level speed max traversing the
   Great Basin and southwestern CONUS through the day on Sunday. This
   will promote gusty winds and strong mixing with low RH on Sunday
   afternoon across parts of the Great Basin, with gusts to 30-40 mph
   and RH in the 5-10% range. Fuels in this region are at least
   modestly receptive, and therefore an Elevated area has been
   introduced. Inside this area, some pockets of more receptive fuels
   across southern Utah are apparent, and therefore a Critical area has
   also been added.

   Elsewhere, localized, transient Elevated conditions may occur in
   gaps in both the coastal range of southern California and the
   Cascades in Oregon. However, confidence in sustained breezy
   conditions is not high enough to introduce highlights at this time.
