Predictive Services Discussion:

Hot, dry, and breezy conditions will continue to impact portions of the southern Plains, Texas, and Louisiana. A 

more typical trade wind pattern creating localized dry and breezy conditions will occur across the Hawaiian 

Island chain. Monsoonal moisture creating a mix of wet and dry thunderstorms will remain over portions of the 

Four Corners states. Remnants of Tropical Storm Eugene will continue to edge northward over California 

creating an isolated mix of wet and dry storms favoring the central Sierra. Warming and drying will continue 

across the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies. Alaska will experience warmer and drier airmass found 

across the North Slopes and northern Interior and a cooler and more moist one across southern areas with 

scattered thunderstorms across much of the Interior. Scattered to widespread thunderstorms will impact the 

Midwest to the Southeast with severe thunderstorms most likely across the Midwest.

National Predictive Services Outlook
