Predictive Services Discussion: 

Widespread precipitation will spread across the West through much of next week during multiple storm 

passages, with below normal temperatures and low snow levels. Heavy precipitation is expected on the West 

Coast, especially in the Sierra and Peninsular and Transverse Ranges of southern California. With troughing in 

the West and downslope flow on the High Plains, west-southwest winds will strengthen amid low relative humidity 

of 8-25% and lead to elevated to critical fire weather conditions across portions of the southern Plains, especially 

the southern High Plains this weekend into mid-next week. Elevated conditions are also likely to spread into 

central and possibly south Texas at times. 

Above normal temperatures are expected across much of the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and into the MidMississippi and Ohio Valleys, with little to no rain likely along the Gulf and southeast Atlantic Coasts. The Florida 

Peninsula is likely to have minimum relative humidity below 40% daily, including relative humidity below 25% 

and breezy post-frontal winds at times.

Another round of severe weather is likely on the southern Plains Sunday, with widespread precipitation from the 

Lower Missouri and Mid-Mississippi Valleys through the Midwest and Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley and 

Northeast next week. Heavy snowfall is possible on the northern fringe of the precipitation from the central Plains 

into the Great Lakes. However, much of the High Plains and northern Plains are likely to receive little to no 

precipitation.
