Predictive Services Discussion: 

Temperatures across the southern Plains into the Southeast will gradually warm into next week, with 

well above normal temperatures likely by mid-next week. Very dry conditions, with widespread relative 

humidity below 30% will continue into Saturday across much of the Southeast and southern 

Appalachians, before rising above 35% by early next week. Winds are forecast to be light overall as 

well, limited the potential for critical fire weather conditions. Several Pacific storms are forecast to move 

into the northwestern US this weekend into early next week, with heavy rain west of the Cascades, and 

moderate precipitation into northern California, the northern Great Basin, and northern Rockies. Snow 

levels will be high to start, above 8,000 feet, before falling to 4,000 to 6,000 feet by early next week. 

The southern half of the West will remain dry with above normal temperatures and low relative humidity. 

Breezy westerly winds are likely to develop Sunday into mid-next week and result in areas of elevated 

to critical conditions across the Southeast into the southern High Plains. Periodic cold fronts are 

forecast to move through the northern Plains into the Northeast with light to moderate rainfall.
