Predictive Services Discussion:

Post-frontal dry and cool conditions will spread across much of New England, especially Maine, today with 

minimum RH dropping below 30% in places. RH is likely to drop below 35% in parts of northern Minnesota as 

well. Dry conditions will begin to develop over southern New Mexico and Arizona, but isolated to scattered 

thunderstorms remain likely from northern Arizona and New Mexico extending north through the Intermountain 

West and in the southern Sierra. Severe thunderstorms are likely in western and central Montana and from the 

Big Bend through the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles. Scattered to widespread thunderstorms are expected 

over much of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and into Mississippi and Tennessee.
