Predictive Services Discussion:

Deeper monsoonal moisture will arrive in the Southwest from the remnants of Tropical Storm Harold, with 

scattered to widespread wet thunderstorms across the Four Corners states. Scattered thunderstorms will also 

continue over the Big Bend and Trans Pecos. Lingering isolated thunderstorms are likely in portions of Idaho, 

Montana, and Wyoming, with isolated showers and thunderstorms possible in northern Washington as an 

upper low moves in from the Pacific. Near normal temperatures with relative humidity above 25% is forecast 

for much of the northern Intermountain West. Light northeasterly offshore winds over far northwest California 

will weaken this afternoon before redeveloping tonight. Hot, dry, and locally breezy conditions will continue 

across much of the southern and central Plains into the Midwest and Southeast. Isolated to scattered showers 

and thunderstorms are likely on portions of the northern Plains through the Great Lakes, and thunderstorm 

coverage will likely increase but remain mostly isolated in Florida.
