Offshore east winds will continue over the Northwest and northern California but are forecast to gradually decrease during the day. Very warm temperatures will continue west of the Cascades and Sierra with highs into the 80s and 90s and afternoon relative humidity falling to 7-20%. Very dry conditions will continue for the northern Intermountain West as well. Thermal troughing and low-level instability are forecast to continue for northern California into the Cascades, likely keeping fires active into the evening even as the winds subside. Isolated mixed wet and dry thunderstorms may be ongoing in the morning from the central Sierra to the central California coast but are likely to become wetter as moisture increases in the afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms along with potential flooding will continue from the southern Sierra to Point Conception southward for California and stretch into portions of southern Nevada and northwest Arizona. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected across the greater Four Corners region, while showers and thunderstorms are likely near a cold front across the central Plains into the Great Lakes. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are forecast from the Ohio Valley to the Gulf Coast and Southeast as well, with the heaviest rain and possible flooding in the western Carolinas. http://www.predictiveservices.nifc.gov/outlooks/outlooks.htm
