Predictive Services Discussion: 

Widespread rainfall is expected from the Southeast extending along and east of the Appalachians through the 

weekend. Dry and breezy post-frontal conditions are likely from east Texas through the Southeast Sunday – 

Monday, but antecedent rainfall should minimize increases in significant fire potential. Much of the eastern US 

will be cooler and drier next week. Post-frontal dry and breezy conditions are likely to increase significant fire 

potential in parts of Missouri and Iowa this weekend and through the western Mississippi Valley into next week, 

where precipitation is forecast to be little to none.

Showers and thunderstorms, including severe thunderstorms, are expected across the eastern half of Texas into 

the ArkLaTex and Oklahoma today, with dry and breezy post-frontal conditions on portions of Plains this 

weekend. Moisture will push west to the Rockies by mid-next week increasing chances of precipitation from the 

Colorado Rockies south along and east of the Divide through New Mexico onto portions of the southern and 

central High Plains. Dry and breezy conditions are likely to expand from the Southwest into the southern and 

western Great Basin and eastern California this weekend through early next week. Above normal temperatures 

are expected across much of the West through the weekend as upper-level ridging builds overhead. An upperlevel trough is likely to move onto the West Coast late this weekend through early next week increasing 

precipitation chances on the West Coast and northern Intermountain West next week.
