Predictive Services Discussion:

Scattered to widespread mixed wet and dry thunderstorms are expected in southeast Arizona and southern 

and central New Mexico, with more isolated thunderstorm coverage into southern Colorado. Isolated mixed wet 

and dry thunderstorms are also possible in far northeast Washington into northwest Montana. Dry and breezy 

conditions are likely across portions of the Intermountain West, mostly east of the Sierra and Cascades across 

the Great Basin to the West Slope. Hot and dry conditions will continue across much of the southern Plains, 

Texas, and the Desert Southwest. Thunderstorms are likely across the northern and central Plains through the 

Midwest into the Mid-Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, Great Lakes, and Northeast, including severe 

thunderstorms in the Lower Missouri, Mid-Mississippi, and Ohio Valleys. Thunderstorms are expected again 

near the central Gulf Coast and in much of Florida. Showers will overspread much of eastern Alaska with drier 

conditions in western Alaska, including some lower relative humidity in parts of the Interior.
