Changes in some agency YTD acres reflect more accurate mapping or reporting adjustments.
Predictive Services Discussion: 

Breezy to gusty north-northeast winds will continue across portions of northern California into western Oregon, 

with relative humidity dropping below 25% in southwest Oregon and northern California. Thunderstorms will 

stretch from Texas northeastward to the Great Lakes, including severe thunderstorms on the southern Plains. 

Heavy rain and areas of flooding are expected across north Texas, central and eastern Oklahoma, and 

western Arkansas into southern Missouri. While relative humidity will increase from previous days, portions of 

the Lower Mississippi Valley and Southeast will still drop to 25-35% during the afternoon, with breezy eastsoutheast winds ahead of the approaching cold front. Above normal temperatures will continue across much of 

the Southeast, with continued below normal temperatures in the Intermountain West.
