Predictive Services Discussion: 

Elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions are expected today from Arizona through much of New Mexico 

and into southern Colorado due to dry and windy weather. Isolated dry thunderstorms, capable of severe wind 

gusts, are also likely in portions of the Trans Pecos onto the southern High Plains. Greater chances and coverage 

of severe thunderstorms are forecast across the central High Plains extending farther east through southern 

Kansas and northern Oklahoma. Dry post-frontal conditions will continue across New England, with warm, dry, 

and unstable conditions on the Florida Peninsula. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are likely from Texas 

through the Southeast into the Mid-Atlantic, including severe thunderstorms in the coastal Carolinas. Scattered 

showers and thunderstorms are also likely from the northern Rockies through the northern Plains.
