Predictive Services Discussion:

An upper-level trough moving into western Canada and an upper low approaching northern California will shift 

and breakdown the ridge over the Northwest and northern California. Gusty Cascade Gap winds are likely, and 

temperatures will remain above normal across the northwestern US, with minimum relative humidity of 5-25% 

from the Desert Southwest through much of the western and northern Great Basin, Inland Northwest, Idaho, and 

Montana. Gusty downslope winds are also likely in north-central Montana in the lee of the northern Rockies. 

Isolated mixed wet and dry thunderstorms are likely in portions of the central and northern Sierra, northwest 

California, and southwest Oregon, especially over the mountains. 

Hurricane Lee will weaken to a Tropical/Post Tropical Storm and make landfall on the Maine, Nova Scotia, or 

New Brunswick coast. Storm surge of 1-3 feet is forecast from Long Island northward through the New England 

coast, and wind gusts of 30-70 mph are expected for eastern New England, with gusts of 20-45 mph for the rest 

of New England. Heavy rain will fall over much of Maine, especially eastern Maine, as well. Scattered to 

widespread showers and thunderstorms will continue in the southern Rockies and Plains through the Gulf Coast 

and Florida into the central Appalachians. Showers and thunderstorms are also likely from the Great Lakes 

extending southwest into the central Plains along a cold front.
