Predictive Services Discussion:

An upper-level trough will move east-southeast from the northern Great Basin through the central Rockies, with 

hot, dry, and windy conditions expected again from the deserts of southern California through the greater Four 

Corners region. Hot, dry, and breezy conditions will continue across much of Texas into the Lower Mississippi 

Valley as well. Strong easterly winds of 30-45 mph, gusting 65+ mph will continue for Hawaii through tomorrow 

night, with fire weather concerns on leeside locations of the islands. Post-frontal dry and windy conditions are 

expected along and east of the Appalachians, but antecedent rainfall will help mitigate fire weather conditions. 

Scattered mixed wet and dry thunderstorms are expected across much of the Southwest onto the southern 

High Plains, and isolated showers and thunderstorms are likely in portions of southern California in the evening 

and overnight as moisture from Tropical Storm Eugene streams northward. Isolated to scattered showers and 

mixed wet and dry thunderstorms are likely from north and eastern Idaho and western Montana through 

Wyoming onto the central Plains. Showers are likely to move into western Washington and northwest Oregon 

overnight as another upper-level trough approaches, but offshore winds are likely in southwest Oregon ahead 

of this during the day. Scattered to widespread thunderstorms are likely from the northern and central Plains 

through much of the Southeast, with showers and thunderstorms in the Northeast.
