Predictive Services Discussion: 

Scattered to widespread thunderstorms will develop on much of the Plains, with severe storms most likely from 

southwest Texas into Nebraska along and ahead of a cold front. Farther to the east, dry and breezy conditions 

will develop on eastern portions of the southern and central Plains into the Southeast, Ohio Valley, and 

Midwest amid above normal temperatures. Additionally, some dry and breezy post-frontal conditions are likely 

in portions of the Southwest. Isolated to scattered showers are likely from the Pacific Northwest through the 

northern Intermountain West onto the northern High Plains, with continued below normal temperatures across 

the West. Dry and breezy north-northeast winds are expected across portions of northern California and 

southwest Oregon and will likely continue overnight on some mid and upper slopes.
