Predictive Services Discussion:
A robust cold front pushing southeastward across the northern Plains will reach the western Great Lakes and
southern Plains late in the day while gradually backing to the southwest along the Front Range. Cooler, more
seasonable temperatures settle into the Northern Rockies, northern Great Basin and Inland Northwest with near
to slightly below average highs in the 50s and 60s across northern Wyoming and Montana
Locally critical conditions are likely in northeast Utah, western/southern Wyoming, western Minnesota, South
Dakota and Nebraska amid RH of 10-20% and lingering gusty winds to around 40 mph. Along the West Coast,
strong/gusty offshore winds with hot temperatures and very low RH <20% will create locally critical conditions
for interior northern California.
Away from the mountainous regions of the Southwest and Colorado Rockies where isolated showers and
thunderstorms develop this afternoon, a dry pattern dominates the West. Hot temperatures of 95-110°F will be
widespread for interior California, southern Great Basin and lower elevations of Arizona amid RH of 5-15% and
generally light winds. The western Great Lakes will have a chance of showers and thunderstorms accompanying
the cold front while showery weather persists for the Upper Ohio Valley, central Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be found across Florida. Dry and seasonable weather with
temperatures in the 60s and 70s continue across the Northeast.
