Predictive Services Discussion: 

Hot, dry, and breezy conditions will remain centered across Texas and the Lower Mississippi Valley 

although conditions will not be as critical as yesterday. The Hawaiian Island chain will experience 

decreasing wind speeds although dry conditions will remain. Monsoonal moisture will be found over 

the greater Four Corners area and provide a mix of wet and dry thunderstorms and gusty outflow 

winds. Warmer, drier, and locally breezy conditions will prevail across the Pacific Northwest and 

northern Rockies. Increasing humidity and scattered showers with isolated generally wet 

thunderstorms will affect the southern half of California while warmer and drier conditions remain 

across the northern half. Large portions of the East will continue to receive abundant precipitation 

while conditions remain dry across the upper Great Lakes. The southern half of Alaska will remain 

cool and somewhat moist with scattered showers and thunderstorms while the North Slope and 

northern Interior will be much warmer and drier.

National Predictive Services Outlook
