Weather Outlook
The Four Corners High will flatten briefly as a cold front pushes east across the Northern Rockies. This will produce pockets of critical fire weather conditions across Wyoming due to breezy westerly winds and low humidities.
A second, much weaker surge of monsoonal moisture will begin to move into southeastern Arizona and New Mexico producing isolated mainly dry storms.
Humidity levels across the southern Great Basin will remain critically low in the lower to middle single digits during the day and teens at night.
Scattered storms will be possible across northern Minnesota and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Warm and dry conditions are expected across Alaska as an Arctic high pressure area extends south across the Interior.
