Predictive Services Discussion:

Dry and windy conditions will continue across parts of southeast California, the southern Great Basin, western 

Colorado, and northern portions of the Southwest leading to elevated and critical fire weather conditions. Hot, 

dry, and unstable conditions will continue across parts of the Desert Southwest and Pacific Northwest. Isolated 

dry thunderstorms are possible in far northern California into southern Oregon, southern and central Idaho, and 

northern Nevada as well as in the north Cascades into northwest Montana. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms 

are likely in much of the Rockies, along and east of the Divide, while severe thunderstorms are likely on much 

of the central Plains into portions of the northern and southern Plains. Scattered to widespread thunderstorms 

are expected along the Gulf Coast through much of the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, eastern Great Lakes, and 

Northeast. Scattered showers will spread across much of Alaska, but parts of southeast Alaska, including the 

panhandle, will remain warmer and drier.
