Predictive Services Discussion: 

West to southwesterly sustained winds of 15-30 mph with gusts 35-50 mph amid relative humidity of 10-25% will 

create areas elevated conditions across much of the Great Basin, Desert Southwest, and greater Four Corners. 

Breezy southerly winds of 15-25 mph will develop across portions of the southern High Plains as well. 

Widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms will continue across the Pacific Northwest into the northern 

Great Basin and northern and central Rockies, with snow levels as low as 6,000 feet. Surface low pressure 

associated with deep subtropical moisture will move along the northern Gulf Coast and bring heavy rain to the 

northern Gulf Coast into the Southeast and Florida. Below normal temperatures will continue across the Great 

Lakes and Northeast, with fewer showers downwind of the lakes today.
