Predictive Services Discussion: 

Dry and windy conditions will continue from northern Minnesota through the Great Lakes into the Northeast 

leading to elevated and locally critical conditions, with high-risk significant fire potential forecast across New 

England, eastern New York, northern New Jersey, and northern Minnesota. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms 

will develop across much of the Intermountain West and High Plains, with the greatest coverage in portions of 

the Southwest and northern Rockies. Scattered to widespread thunderstorms are expected from the Lower 

Mississippi Valley to the South Carolina and Georgia coasts. Severe thunderstorms will be most likely in the 

central High Plains and portions of the Southeast. In Alaska, rain and snow showers will gradually diminish on 

the west coast and southwest Interior with near normal temperatures and dry conditions for the eastern half of 

the state.
