Changes in some agency YTD acres reflect more accurate mapping or reporting adjustments.
Predictive Services Discussion: 

West-southwest sustained winds of 10-25 mph gusting 25-35 mph with minimum relative humidity of 5-20% will 

develop across much of the Great Basin, with locally breezy conditions into portions of southeast Oregon and 

northeast California. Breezy south winds are also forecast across much of Texas and Oklahoma amid 

minimum relative humidity of 10-35%. Hot temperatures will continue across southeast California through the 

greater Four Corners into much of the southern and central Plains and Southeast. Isolated to scattered mixed 

wet and dry thunderstorms will develop across the Southwest northward through the Rockies, mainly near and 

east of the Divide. Increased moisture in southeast Arizona and southwest New Mexico will lead to mainly wet 

thunderstorms. Gusty outflow winds are likely with these thunderstorms, and the greatest potential for strong 

outflows will be across southwest Montana. Thunderstorms, some severe, will develop from the northern 

Plains through the Great Lakes ahead of a cold front, with isolated thunderstorms likely along the Gulf and 

Atlantic Coasts. Above normal temperatures will continue across much of Alaska with isolated thunderstorms 

forecast for the eastern Interior.
