Predictive Services Discussion:

Very hot, record-setting temperatures are forecast across much of California, the Great Basin, and Southwest 

with well above normal temperatures stretching into the Northwest and northern Rockies. Very low relative 

humidity is forecast for much of the West with minimums in the single digits and teens while mid-slopes and 

ridges will have poor overnight recovery of less than 40%. Isolated, mainly dry thunderstorms will develop 

across southeast Arizona into southwest New Mexico, with scattered wet thunderstorms likely across eastern 

New Mexico, some of which will be severe. Thunderstorms will also develop east of the Continental Divide in 

the Rockies into much of the Plains, and from the Mississippi Valley to the East Coast, with another area of 

severe thunderstorms possible in the Appalachians. Much of Texas will remain hot and dry except the 

panhandle and Red River Valley, with breezy south winds creating areas of elevated fire weather conditions. 

Scattered showers and below normal temperatures are forecast across much of Alaska.
