Predictive Services Discussion:

Hot, dry, and breezy conditions will continue across the southern and central Plains, Lower Mississippi Valley, 

into Florida, Mid/Upper Mississippi Valley, and portions of the Southeast, with widespread very hot, well above 

normal temperatures across much of the central US and Southeast. Lingering dry and breezy conditions are 

also likely in portions of the Southwest, but thunderstorm coverage will likely increase as monsoonal moisture 

slowly increases over the region. Scattered to widespread thunderstorms will stretch from south Texas through 

the Four Corners states, with isolated to scattered thunderstorms and showers from northern Calfiornia 

through much of the Inland Northwest, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Showers are likely to move into portions 

of western Washington as well, but much of western Oregon, central Washington, and northwest California are 

likely to remain dry, with breezy Cascade Gap winds likely. Breezy winds and lowering relative humidity will 

develop from southern California through much of Nevada. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue 

in the Great Lakes. Showers and below normal temperatures are likely across the northern half of Alaska with 

warmer and drier conditions across the southern half.
