Weather Outlook
Hurricane Ian will move into the southeast Gulf of Mexico, west of the Florida Keys, bringing numerous showers and thunderstorms and gusty winds to much of the Florida Peninsula. North winds will increase across the Southeast to 10-20 mph with minimum relative humidity below 30% for areas of elevated fire weather conditions. Locally critical conditions are most likely over portions of Alabama and Georgia where areas of relative humidity below 20% are forecast. Locally breezy and dry north to northwest winds are also likely to continue across much of the Mississippi Valley. Above normal temperatures will continue across the West with afternoon relative humidity of 7-25%. West to southwest winds will increase east of the Cascades into the Columbia Basin, southeast Oregon, and northeast California. Elevated to locally critical conditions are most likely to develop across southcentral Oregon and portions of the northern Great Basin due to sustained winds of 15-20 mph with gusts 25-30 mph amid relative humidity of 8-15%. Scattered afternoon wet thunderstorms are expected across the greater Four Corners area, while isolated thunderstorms are possible in the southern Sierra and southeast California
