   The previous forecast remains on track, and no changes were made
   with this update. In addition to the fire-weather concerns described
   below, locally elevated fire-weather conditions are expected across
   portions of southern CA and the Central CA Coast -- where a
   persistent midlevel ridge to the north continues to promote very hot
   conditions and locally breezy offshore winds. However, these
   conditions generally appear too localized and/or marginal for
   highlights at this time.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0221 AM CDT Fri Jul 05 2024/

   ...Synopsis...
   A broad trough should be situated across the central CONUS through
   the day today with northwest flow across the western CONUS, and an
   embedded mid-level speed max should begin impinging upon the Pacific
   Northwest overnight tonight. Despite the delayed arrival of the
   speed max, some breezy conditions (gusts to 20-30 mph) are expected
   to develop this afternoon across western parts of the Snake River
   plain in Idaho along with RH near 5-15% and dry fuels. For this
   reason, an Elevated area is included across this region. 

   Additionally, some transient, localized Elevated conditions may
   occur in the lee of Cascade ranges across central Washington with
   downslope winds. However, RH may be a bit marginal (15-25%), and the
   strongest winds are expected to last less than 3 hours. For these
   reasons, have held off on Elevated highlights in this area.
