Predictive Services Discussion: 

The remnants of Hilary will bring torrential rainfall and potentially catastrophic flooding to southern California 

and portions of Nevada, along with high winds. Lighter but widespread rainfall will also overspread the 

remainder of the western Great Basin and into eastern Oregon and the Northern Rockies, bringing a significant 

moderation in fire weather conditions. Temperatures will also trend much cooler. North Ops and Northwest will 

see less in the way of rainfall, but higher humidity will bring some moderation, especially in Oregon and 

eastern parts of North Ops. Drier and warm conditions will continue in much of Washington and western 

Oregon. To the east of Hilary, warm, windy, and dry conditions will develop over Colorado and New Mexico, 

with elevated to near critical fire weather conditions. Hot and dry weather will continue over Texas, Oklahoma, 

and Louisiana. Further warming is also expected over the central Plains states and the Mississippi and 

Missouri Valleys, with the hottest weather of the season so far in some of these areas. A warming and drying 

trend will also begin over the Great Lakes and East Coast, with still a few thunderstorms in Florida. Alaska will 

see cool weather with showers over much of the interior.

National Predictive Services Outlook
