The seasonal anomalousness, as well sheer spatial extent, of upcoming record-shattering Western U.S. heatwave is genuinely startling. This will be associated with, by far, the strongest ridge ever observed during (at least) any Nov-Mar month. #CAwx #AZwx #NMwx #NVwx #UTwx #COwx
Map, from polarwx.com, of ECMWF model's forecast for 500mb heights later this week and their rank relative to the historical record for March over North America. A giant pink blob is visible over western North America, indicating an absurdly large area of record-breaking 500mb GPH.

Exceptionally warm-to-hot late winter conditions expected across the Southwest through the weekend, peaking Fri and Sat. Numerous daily record highs (and record warm overnight minimums) will be set, along with some Feb monthly records possible. [Thread] #CAwx #AZwx #NVwx
Map depicting predicted departures from average of temperatures later on Friday across the U.S. Southwest from the ECMWF model. Highly anomalously warm values are depicted nearly everywhere.
Map from NOAA NWS depicting specific locations expected to approach or exceed high temperatures today. Many such locations are noted in southern CA, AZ, NV, and adjacent regions.

A fierce dust storm hit the Black Rock Desert on the eve of its annual Burning Man festival, damaging campsites that had been set up early, participants reported. Participants in the annual art and culture festival reported not being able to see beyond a foot. #NVwx

Dust storm flips tents at Burning Man as forecasters warn of flood danger

Winds of up to 50 mph stirred dust in the Black Rock Desert so fiercely that Burning Man participants reported not being able to see beyond a foot.

Multi-day stretch of critical fire weather is likely across Great Basin, extending eastward at times (into Rockies) & westward (into E CA/OR/WA & ID). Scattered dry thunderstorms, plus hot temps & gusty wind, will ignite new wildfires & accelerate existing ones. #NVwx #UTwx #COwx
Fire weather risk map for today from NOAA SPC. It depicts multiple hazards across western U.S., with dry thunderstorm thread centered over Great Basin and hot temp/gusty wind thread more widespread across Western interior.

Evening satellite snapshot depicts marked increase in SW U.S./N Mexico wildfire activity, largely aligning w/Red Flag Warning across Great Basin eastward into Central Rockies. Most notable: multiple large fires in UT, plus #ConnerFire south of Carson City, NV. #CAwx #NVwx #UTwx
Screenshot of current satellite imagery over western United States and Mexico, with various large wildfires denoted by red circles. Large smoke plumes emanating from these fires are also visible.

A mix of wet/dry thunderstorms across Southern California, southern Nevada and western Mexico will present a variety of hazards. Slow-moving storms in the desert regions could present a flash flooding threat. In the Transverse Ranges, there is a risk of dry lightning. #CAwx #NVwx #AZwx

Additionally, I would expect to see early emergence (or re-emergence, in some places) of unusually elevated wildfire activity in SoCal plus AZ/NM and possibly southern portions of UT/NV/CO by spring. #CAfire #CAwx #AZwx #NMwx #UTwx #NVwx

The prolonged & intense Western U.S. heatwave continues. Last 2 weeks are now warmest late June through early July period on record across most of California (including some coastal areas), much of Arizona, parts of Nevada, and western Oregon. #CAwx #AZwx #NVwx #ORwx [1/2]
Map showing the comparative anomalousness of mean temperatures over the past two weeks across the Southwest. In many places, the percentile is 100--meaning warmest on record.
