reporting adjustments.
Predictive Services Discussion: 

Breezy and dry westerly winds creating elevated fire weather conditions are likely across the Trans Pecos and 

Big Bend today, but winds overall will be lighter with much cooler temperatures across the central and southern 

Plains. A strong cold front will move from the Mississippi Valley today to the East Coast by Wednesday bring 

widespread rain to the eastern US, heaviest across the Lower Mississippi Valley, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and 

the Northeast. A storm will move through the West through midweek bringing light to moderate precipitation, 

with snow levels 2,000 to 4,000 feet across the northern half of the West, and 5,000 to 7,000 feet from 

California to the southern Rockies. As this storm moves onto the Plains, breezy and dry southwesterly winds 

will return to portions of the central and southern High Plains Wednesday into Thursday. However, more 

moisture will be drawn northward with widespread precipitation for the eastern Plains to the Appalachians, with 

light precipitation for the High Plains late Thursday into Friday behind the cold front. Breezy trade winds will 

continue across Hawai’i with widespread showers through midweek, especially for the windward sides, and 

potential flooding on the Big Island. Near to below normal temperatures will continue over Interior Alaska, while 

periods of light precipitation continue across western and southern Alaska.
