Predictive Services Discussion:

Dry and breezy conditions will continue in the eastern Sierra and east of the Transverse and Peninsular Ranges 

in southern California into southern Nevada and extend across portions of the Southwest, including minimum 

relative humidity of 8-20% and wind gusts of 30-50 mph. A cold front will push south and east through the 

Northeast and Ohio Valley, with isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms across most of New England. 

Severe thunderstorms are likely on the southern and central High Plains and on the Florida Peninsula, and 

thunderstorms are forecast along much of the Gulf Coast into central Texas and onto the southern and central 

Plains. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are also likely in portions of the central Intermountain West, including 

possible severe thunderstorms stretching from the northern Great Basin into central Montana. Flood Watches 

and Warnings will continue across parts of Alaska, especially in the Interior, for snowmelt, and gusty southerly 

winds are expected through the Alaska Range.
