Predictive Services Discussion: 

Northeast Santa Ana winds with gusts to 40 mph will continue across southern California this morning before 

decreasing this afternoon as relative humidity falls to 10-20%. Light northeast offshore winds will continue 

across the rest of California as well, with well above normal temperatures. Mild and dry conditions will spread 

across the remainder of the West with temperatures near to slightly above normal. A cold front from south 

Texas to the Great Lakes will move slowly eastward with showers and thunderstorms along and ahead of the 

front, most widespread in south Texas and the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes. Above normal temperatures will 

continue in the Southeast ahead of the front, but minimum relative humidity is forecast to remain above 35%. 

Behind the front, dry and breezy northwesterly winds will spread across the northern and central Plains, while 

scattered to widespread showers develop across northern Minnesota into northern Wisconsin and Upper 

Peninsula of Michigan.
