Weather

A cold front will move through the southern Rockies, central Plains, and into the western Great Lakes. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely near and ahead of the front from the eastern Dakotas into the western Great Lakes then south into the Lower Missouri and Mid-Mississippi Valleys. Isolated to scattered mainly wet thunderstorms are expected across southeast Arizona, much of New Mexico, and the Texas Panhandle, while isolated thunderstorms are likely over the Florida Peninsula. A few showers will move into northwest Washington as well. Westerly sustained winds of 20-35 mph with gusts 40-60 mph are expected across portions of central and eastern Wyoming into western Nebraska and southwest South Dakota, but recent precipitation will likely mitigate significant fire potential. Dry and breezy conditions are expected across much of Texas and Oklahoma, and relative humidity will fall below 30% for much of the Southeast, with a few areas below 20%. Areas of breezy post-frontal north winds are possible as well from southeast Georgia into eastern Virginia likely creating locally elevated fire weather conditions.
