An upper low will continue to drift across the Northwest, bringing showers and thunderstorms to the Northwest and northern Rockies. Much cooler temperatures will spread to the northern Great Basin and Rockies. Warm and windy conditions will continue across the Southwest, the southern Great Basin and the central Rockies producing critical fire weather conditions for parts of the region. Showers and thunderstorms will develop over the Front Range of the Rockies and move into the Plains from southern Colorado to the Dakotas. Warm weather will continue for most of the South as scattered thunderstorms move through the region. Mild and dry conditions will spread over the Northeast. Alaska will continue hot and dry.
