Predictive Services Discussion:

Dry and breezy conditions will develop in the eastern Sierra and east of the Transverse and Peninsular Ranges 

in southern California into southern Nevada and northwest Arizona, including minimum relative humidity of 8-

20% and wind gusts of 40-50 mph. A cold front will push south and east through the Great Lakes and into the 

Northeast by tonight. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will accompany the frontal passage in 

parts of the northern Plains and northern Great Lakes. Scattered to widespread thunderstorms are expected 

over much of Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, with the heaviest rain likely from southern Georgia into north 

Florida. Severe thunderstorms are likely from northwest Texas into the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles and 

northeast New Mexico, while isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected in the central Intermountain West 

and southern and central Rockies onto the High Plains.
