Predictive Services Discussion: 

Dry and breezy conditions will result in moderate to high-risk significant fire potential in New England near a 

pre-frontal trough, while critically low relative humidity with breezy afternoon winds will develop from northern 

Minnesota through northern Wisconsin and much of Michigan as well. Hot and dry conditions will continue from 

southwest Arizona through southeast California into southern Nevada, with above normal temperatures on 

much of the West Coast into the northern Intermountain West. However, chances of thunderstorms and 

showers will extend from the Southwest and broader Four Corners region through the Great Basin into the 

Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies. Widespread showers and thunderstorms are likely over south and 

central Texas and from eastern Oklahoma and Kansas through Missouri into central Illinois and northern 

Arkansas. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue over much of the Southeast. Precipitation and 

below normal temperatures will move over western portions of Alaska, with drier and warmer temperatures in 

the eastern Interior and through the Panhandle.
