Predictive Services Discussion:

An upper-level ridge will shift eastward over the West Coast and into the Intermountain West, with a thermal 

trough slowly shifting eastward from near the coast into the Willamette Valley and on western slopes of the 

Cascades. Temperatures will be 5-15°F above normal in northern California, the Northwest, Idaho, and Montana, 

with minimum relative humidity mostly 10-35%. Weak east-northeast offshore flow may develop again overnight 

in northwest California and southwest Oregon, and some areas of poor to moderate relative humidity recovery 

may persist overnight as well. Scattered to widespread thunderstorms and showers will develop from the Four 

Corners through much of the southern and central Plains, Texas, Gulf Coast, Deep South, Florida, and into the 

Upper Midwest and western Great Lakes. A cold front will be a focus of rainfall from the Great Lakes into the 

southern Rockies and a stalled surface front will be another focus of rainfall from central Texas through the Gulf 

Coast. Another cold front will push south through the northern Plains into the western Great Lakes. Rain and 

gusty winds of 25-50 mph are likely to begin overnight along coastal New England ahead of Hurricane Lee. Dry 

and breezy conditions are likely in eastern Virginia and North Carolina due to Lee passing to the east and 

remaining in a post-frontal airmass.
