Predictive Services Discussion:
The upper-level ridge will strengthen over the West, with temperatures as much as 20 degrees above normal
and numerous daily records possible from Arizona and California to the Pacific Northwest. Temperatures up to
110°F are expected in the California Central Valley, and near or exceeding 100°F in the Willamette Valley of
Oregon. Well above normal temperatures will spread east to the Continental Divide, as well. Very low minimum
RH of 4-20% will spread across the West, west of the Divide, with poor overnight recovery of 10-30% for mid-
slopes and ridges focused on the Great Basin, Northwest, California, and Arizona. Winds overall will be light, but
locally gust easterly winds of 10-15 mph will occur in the Columbia Gorge and the northern Wasatch Front.
Significant fire potential will remain low to moderate due to a lack of ignition sources, but ongoing fires are likely
to increase in activity due to other fire environment factors. Even so, smoke shading may cause locally cooler
temperatures and higher RH resulting in less activity for some fires than would otherwise be expected based on
background conditions.
A backdoor cold front will move into New Mexico and Colorado with increasing moisture east of the Divide and
much cooler temperatures along with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. A cold front will move
through the Midwest with scattered showers and thunderstorms, while scattered to widespread showers and
thunderstorms develop from East Texas into western Georgia, but there will be a sharp northern boundary to the
rainfall with the Tennessee Valley likely to remain dry. Ahead of the cold front, RH as low as 25% is expected to
continue in the Upper Ohio Valley.
