Predictive Services Discussion:

Elevated to critical fire weather conditions due to dry and windy weather are likely in much of New Mexico and 

on portions of the central Plains today into Saturday. As an upper-level trough approaches and moves through 

the West, dry and windy conditions are expected across western and southern portions of the Great Basin, much 

of the Southwest, and onto the southern High Plains early to mid-next week. Pre-frontal dry and potentially 

breezy conditions are likely across portions of the southern and central Appalachians into the Mid-Atlantic today, 

but scattered to widespread rainfall is likely across much of the Appalachians and East Coast today into Sunday. 

Post-frontal dry and breezy conditions are expected in portions of the Southeast into the Mid-Atlantic this 

weekend and early next week. 

Scattered precipitation is expected across the West this weekend through early next week, with higher totals in 

the Cascades and Rocky Mountains. Precipitation coverage and totals are likely to be less in California, the 

western and southern Great Basin, and the Southwest. A warming and drying trend is expected across the West 

Coast by late next week. As the trough moves through the West and towards the southern Plains and Southeast, 

widespread and potentially heavy rainfall is likely from Kansas through central and east Texas extending through 

the Lower Mississippi Valley into the Southeast late this weekend through mid-next week.
