Predictive Services Discussion: 

Hot, dry, and breezy conditions will continue to impact portions of Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. 

Monsoonal moisture will remain over large portions of the Four Corners states and provide a mix of wet and 

dry thunderstorms. Remnants of Tropical Storm Eugene will continue to impact the southern two thirds of 

California and Nevada creating a scattered mix of wet and dry slow-moving storms. Heat wave conditions and 

a strengthening thermal trough will develop across portions of the Pacific Northwest and northern California 

and provide well above normal temperatures and locally breezy offshore winds along the Coastal and Cascade 

Ranges. Warming and drying will continue across the Northern Rockies. Unusually warm temperatures will 

prevail across the Alaskan interior with isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. Heavier 

concentrations of wetting thunderstorms will be found across the northern and central Plains, upper Mississippi 

River Valley and large portions of the Southeast.
