Predictive Services Discussion:

Dry and breezy southwest winds will create elevated fire weather conditions and moderate to high risk significant 

fire potential across the Northeast today. A cold front will move through the Great Lakes today with showers and 

thunderstorms bringing light to moderate rain today, and into the Northeast tomorrow bringing temporary relief. 

This cold front will also move through the southern Plains today and into the Southeast this weekend. Scattered 

to widespread thunderstorms, some severe, are forecast across the southern Plains today, with scattered 

thunderstorms across the Southeast this weekend including the Florida Peninsula. Above normal temperatures 

will continue across the West, with record highs possible in portions of the northern Intermountain West. Isolated 

to scattered thunderstorms are also forecast across the West, with the most widespread rainfall across portions 

of the Southwest and southern Rockies. Upper ridging will build over Alaska this weekend with temperatures 

rising to above normal over much of the Interior, but significant fire potential will remain very low to non-existent.
