Weather Outlook
Very dry air will continue in the central and southern Appalachians with minimum relative humidity falling to 2030% but with light winds. Farther north, low minimum relative humidity as low as 30% will continue in the Northeast but winds will be lighter than yesterday. Above normal temperatures persist in the Plains and Mississippi Valley but relative humidity will remain elevated, while scattered showers and thunderstorms develop in the Lower Mississippi Valley and the central Plains. Deep tropical moisture will move across Florida with widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms with locally heavy rain. A Pacific storm associated with deep tropical moisture will move through the Intermountain West. Heavy rain is expected in the Four Corners states, with the heaviest rain in Arizona and southwest Colorado producing areas of flooding. Farther north, lighter precipitation is expected, which will fall as snow above 7,000 feet in the northern Rockies. Scattered light precipitation is expected across the southern half of Alaska along with temperatures that cool to near normal. Trade winds return today across Hawai’i with isolated light windward showers.
