Predictive Services Discussion: 

Dry and breezy conditions will continue across parts of southeast California, the southern Great Basin, western 

Colorado, and northern portions of the Southwest leading to elevated and locally critical fire weather 

conditions. Hot, dry, and unstable conditions will continue across parts of the Desert Southwest and in the 

Pacific Northwest along a thermal trough mostly west of the Cascades. Isolated dry thunderstorms are possible 

in far northern California into southern Oregon, the north Cascades, and in parts of western Colorado. Severe 

thunderstorms are likely from the Front Range across the southern and central Plains into the Midwest and 

Southeast, with chances of isolated showers and thunderstorms in the central and southern Rockies, Texas, 

and Northeast. Below normal temperatures will develop across much of the northern Plains into the western 

Great Lakes behind the cold front. Western Alaska will remain cooler and wetter with warmer and drier 

conditions across the eastern half of the state, including the panhandle.
