Predictive Services Discussion:

Hot temperatures to continue across southern California, the Southwest, and Texas, and expand into the 

Southeast. Isolated to scattered mixed wet and dry thunderstorms will develop in the afternoon for the central 

and southern Great Basin, West Slope, and Southwest near and ahead of a stalled cold front. Significant fire 

potential will be highest over the greater Four Corners area. Breezy westerly winds are also likely to continue 

across portions of the southern Great Basin, while dry, downslope winds are likely in north-central Montana 

and much of Wyoming. Dry, but cooler conditions are forecast for northern California, Northwest, northern 

Great Basin, and northern Rockies. Breezy south winds in Texas will continue to create areas of elevated fire 

weather conditions, with fuels gradually drying in the Southeast due to the heat. Scattered to numerous 

showers and thunderstorms will develop along and ahead of a cold front from the northern Plains into the Ohio 

Valley where storms are most likely to be severe. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are also forecast for 

much of the Northeast and Florida Peninsula.
