Predictive Services Discussion:

Very hot, record-setting temperatures will continue across much of California, the Great Basin, and Southwest,

with well above normal temperatures stretching into the Northwest and northern Rockies. Very low relative 

humidity is forecast for much of the West, with minimums in the single digits and teens, while mid-slopes and 

ridges will have poor overnight recovery of less than 40%. Winds will increase across the east slopes of the 

Cascades into the Columbia Basin with elevated conditions. Isolated, mainly dry thunderstorms will develop 

across far southeast Arizona into southwest and central New Mexico, with isolated dry thunderstorms likely to 

develop after midnight tonight across northeast California, northwest Nevada, and north Idaho. Thunderstorms 

will also develop across much of the central and southern Plains to the East Coast, with severe thunderstorms 

possible in the Mid-Mississippi Valley and Mid-Atlantic. Much of Texas will remain hot and dry with breezy south 

winds creating areas of elevated fire weather conditions. Eastern Interior Alaska will be seasonally warm and 

dry today while showers continue across southwest and south-central Alaska.
