Predictive Services Discussion:

Breezy and dry westerly winds of 10-18 mph amid minimum relative humidity of 25-40% will develop across 

portions of the Tennessee Valley creating areas of elevated conditions. A Pacific cold front will move onshore 

with showers west of the Cascades from western Washington to northwest California. Breezy and dry 

southwesterly winds will develop ahead of a cold front from northeast California into southeast Oregon and the 

northern Great Basin as well. Light showers will spread east of the Cascades into the Inland Northwest and 

northern Rockies overnight while isolated thunderstorms develop over the higher elevations of the Southwest. 

Above normal temperatures will continue over the Intermountain West, while well below normal temperatures 

continue in the Midwest, Ohio Valley, and Northeast, with scattered showers downwind of the Great Lakes.
