Predictive Services Discussion:

An upper-level trough will move over the northwestern US, while an upper low spins off the coast of northern 

and central California. Elevated to critical fire weather conditions are expected from the Cascade Gaps onto the 

Columbia Basin and through north Idaho and northwest Montana onto the High Plains in north-central Montana. 

Wind gusts of 20-45 mph amid minimum relative humidity of 8-25% and above normal temperatures will develop 

across these areas, and dry and breezy conditions are likely to continue overnight in portions of these areas. 

Additionally, dry and breezy conditions will overspread portions of southern and central Idaho into southwest and 

central Montana and Wyoming during the day. Isolated to possibly scattered mixed wet and dry thunderstorms

are expected across portions of northern California into southern Oregon, mostly over the mountains. 

Scattered thunderstorms and showers are likely from eastern Arizona through much of New Mexico and 

southwest and south Texas. A cold front will push south off the central Gulf Coast, but showers and 

thunderstorms are expected ahead of another cold front from Florida and the Southeast Coast extending 

northward through the central Appalachians into the southern Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic. Dry and breezy 

post-frontal conditions are likely across the Plains, Midwest, and Mississippi Valley.
