Predictive Services Discussion:

Hot, dry, and breezy conditions will develop ahead of a cold frontal passage across portions of New Mexico, 

Texas, and the lower Mississippi Valley. A mix of wet and dry thunderstorms will be found along and ahead of 

this cold front and impact portions of the Four Corner states as well as Texas and the lower Mississippi Valley. 

A mix of wet and dry thunderstorms will also affect large portions of California and Nevada although they will be 

slower moving with a nighttime thunderstorm threat across northwest California. The heat wave will strengthen 

across the Pacific Northwest and portions of northern California and provide a thermal trough induced critical fire 

weather pattern, especially across the Coastal and Cascade Ranges. Temperatures will moderate some across 

Alaska with continued scattered shower and thunderstorm activity. Heavier concentrations of wetting 

thunderstorms will be found across portions of the upper Great Lakes, mid-Atlantic and large portions of the 

Southeast.
