Predictive Services Discussion:

Breezy southwesterly sustained winds of 12-25 mph with gusts 25-40 mph amid relative humidity of 10-25% will 

develop ahead of a cold front across much of the Great Basin, Desert Southwest, and greater Four Corners. 

Breezy southerly winds of 10-20 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 Rockies, with snow levels as low as 6,000 feet. Westerly winds of 10-15 mph will 

create localized elevated conditions across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys into the Southeast. Deep 

subtropical moisture will move into south Texas and produce widespread wetting rain and localized flooding. 

Well below normal temperatures will continue from the Midwest to the Northeast with scattered showers 

continuing downwind of the Great Lakes.
