Predictive Services Discussion:

Isolated to scattered mixed wet and dry thunderstorms will continue across the Southwest extending into 

southern California, southwest Texas, and the greater Four Corners region. Isolated mixed wet and dry 

thunderstorms are also possible across the northern Great Basin into southwest Montana, and there is 

potential for isolated thunderstorms in Nevada, including Nevada into southern Idaho overnight. Hot, dry, and 

breezy conditions will develop along and east of the Cascades and the Sierra into the central and northern 

Great Basin and portions of the Inland Northwest, especially in and near the Columbia Gorge. Well above 

normal temperatures will continue across much of the West, northern Plains, and portions of Texas and South 

Florida. Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected from south Texas to the southeast Atlantic Coast, 

especially along the Gulf Coast, with showers and scattered thunderstorms from the Great Lakes and Midwest 

into the Mid-Atlantic. Well above normal temperatures and scattered wet thunderstorms will continue over the 

Alaska Interior.
