Predictive Services Discussion:

An upper level ridge is centered over the ArkLaTex area where well above normal temperatures will result, with 

strong southerly winds expected over west Texas and into the plains of Oklahoma and the Mississippi Valley. 

Minimum relative humidity of 10 – 20 % is also expected in west Texas and much of the Southwest, where a 

chance for isolated dry thunderstorms exists. Strong southwest winds are also likely across the Southwest and 

greater Four Corners area, where warm, dry conditions will prevail before a frontal passage will likely occur later 

in the day, shifting winds to a more northeasterly direction. Isolated to scattered thunderstorm activity is likely 

over the mountains of Utah and western Wyoming and central Idaho as well as east of the Continental Divide in 

the Rocky Mountain Region, much of the Great Lakes, and far Northeast with severe thunderstorm development 

possible over much of the central High Plains and into the Mid-Mississippi Valley. Smoke from Canadian wildfires 

will impact air quality in the Great Lakes area, spreading into the Southeast.

In the western US, another high pressure ridge will begin to build driving temperatures above normal in the 

Pacific Northwest and much of California and initiating a warming trend over the Great Basin. Alaska continues

to have wet, cool conditions and with an outbreak of wet thunderstorms forecast across the Interior.
