Predictive Services Discussion:

Well above normal temperatures will continue across much of the West with low afternoon low relative humidity 

below 20% except west of the Cascades where onshore flow will result in higher humidity. Isolated dry 

thunderstorms will continue in the morning across portions of northwest Nevada, central Idaho, and western 

Montana, becoming scattered in the afternoon across northern Nevada into southern Idaho and southwest 

Montana. Breezy westerly winds will also develop across in the Inland Northwest and Great Basin creating 

elevated fire weather conditions as well. Isolated dry thunderstorms are possible this afternoon across central 

Arizona into western New Mexico with wet thunderstorms possible across far southern Arizona. Isolated 

thunderstorms will also develop across much of the Plains, with more numerous thunderstorms, likely severe, 

across portions of South Dakota and Nebraska. Texas will continue to be hot, dry, and breezy, while isolated to 

scattered thunderstorms are likely for much of the eastern US east of the Mississippi River. Eastern Interior 

Alaska will be warm with scattered thunderstorms while the rest of Alaska is drier but cool.
