Predictive Services Discussion:

West to southwesterly sustained winds of 15-30 mph with gusts 35-50 mph amid relative humidity of 10-25% 

will create elevated to critical conditions across much of New Mexico into the central and southern High Plains. 

Breezy north to northeasterly winds gusting to 40 mph will continue across portions of southern California into 

early afternoon before gradually weakening. Widespread rain, with heavy snow above 7,000 feet, will continue 

across southern Montana, Wyoming, and northern Colorado, while heavy snow falls in the Black Hills as well. 

Widespread rain will fall across much of South Dakota, northern Nebraska, southern Minnesota, and northern 

Iowa ahead of developing surface low pressure in northeast Colorado and move into portions of Wisconsin and 

Michigan overnight. Scattered severe thunderstorms are likely ahead of the cold front in eastern Nebraska and 

eastern Kansas. Rain will move off the Southeast coast today, with scattered thunderstorms forecast over the 

Florida Peninsula. Near normal temperatures are forecast in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, with scattered 

showers for northern New England.
