Predictive Services Discussion:

Some moderation is expected in the West with more substantial cooling over the Northern Rockies and more 

widespread showers and wet thunderstorms over the Great Basin. It will remain warm and dry over North Ops 

and much of the Northwest, but winds will decrease. Minimum humidity will still fall to 15% to 25% over a wide 

area, with some poor recoveries continuing in the midslopes and higher. Another round of isolated mixed wet 

and dry thunderstorms is expected over northern California, interior Oregon, and Idaho. As Hurricane Hilary 

begins to move closer to the US, scattered to widespread showers and wet thunderstorms are expected across 

southern California and western portions of the Four Corners states. However, New Mexico and Colorado will 

trend hotter and drier, and southerly winds will start to pick up as well. Hot and dry weather will continue over 

Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Further warming is also expected over the Plains states, with hotter and 

windier weather for much of the Mississippi and lower Missouri Valleys. It will remain cooler and mainly dry 

over the eastern Great Lakes and Northeast, while the Southeast will turn warmer and mostly dry aside from 

thunderstorms in Florida. Temperatures will remain near to below normal in most of Alaska, with showery 

weather over some interior portions of the state and some areas of breezy conditions.
